Another bride, another June     Another sunny honeymoon
        G                  D                  G
Another season, another reason     For makin' whoopee
G                           D7                    G                     C
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice      The groom is nervous, he answers twice
            G                         D             G
Its really killin'     That he's so willin' to make whoopee

[Verse 2]
G                           D7     G                     C
Now picture a little love nest     Down where the roses cling
G                           D        G                    G-slap stop
Picture the same sweet love nest    Think what a year can bring
     G                        D7                 G                 C
He's washin dishes and baby clothes   He's so ambitious he even sews
           G                                  D                   G
But don't forget folks,  That’s what you get folks, for makin' whoopee

[Verse 3]
G                      D7                  G                       C
Another year, maybe less     What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
G                           D                    G
She feels neglected, and he's suspected   Of makin' whoopee
G                                   D7
Yeah, she sits alone,   Most every night
             G                 C                   G
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write   He says he's busy,
G                  D                   G
But she says, "Is he?"    He's makin' whoopee

[Verse 4]
G                           D7     G                  C
Now he doesn't make much money   Only five thousand per
G                            D            G                    G-slap stop
Some judge who thinks he's funny   Says, "You'll pay six to her."
               G                 D7        G                              C
He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"    Judge say, "Budge. Right into jail.
              G                         D                    G
You'd better keep her. I think it's cheaper    Than makin' whoopee
G                                             D7                    G
