Makin' Whoopee (with Tony Bennett)

Lyrics

Every time I hear that march from Lohengrin
 I am always on the outside lookin' in
 Maybe that is why I see the funny side
 When I see somebody's brother take a bride
 Weddings make a lot of people sad
 But if you're not the one, they're not so bad
 Another bride, another June
 Another sunny honeymoon
 Another season, another reason
 For makin' whoopee
 A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
 The groom is nervous, who can blame him, he answers twice
 It's really killin', but he's so willin' to make whoopee
 Picture a little love nest
 I got you
 Down where the roses cling
 It's very romantic
 Picture that seems sweet love nest
 Think what a year can bring
 I'm with you
 He's washin' dishes and baby clothes
 He should
 He's so ambitious, not really, he even sews
 2003, babe
 But don't forget folks, that's what you get folks
 For makin' whoopee
 Another year
 What?
 Or maybe less
 What's this I hear? Can't you guess?
 No
 She feels neglected
 And he's suspected
 That's right
 Of makin' whoopee
 She sits alone, 'most every night
 He doesn't phone nor even write
 I forget the number (yeah)
 He says he's busy
 Yeah
 But she says, is he?
 He's makin' whoopee
 He doesn't make much money
 Yeah, 500,000 per
 Who told you that?
 Some judge who thinks he's funny
 Says, you pay six to her
 He says, "Now judge, what if I fail?"
 Judge says, "Bud, right into jail"
 Whoops
 You better keep her, I think it's cheaper
 Than makin' whoopee
 Yeah, don't forget, folks
 That's what you get, folks
 For makin' whoopee
