Makin' Whoopee

Shirley Bassey

Every time I hear that march from Lohengrin 
I am always on the ouside looking in 
Maybe that is why I see the funny side 
When I see your fallen brother take a bride 
Weddings make a lot of people sad 
But If you're not the groom, 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, he answers twice 
It's really killing, that he's so willing to make whoopee 

Picture a little love nest 
Down where the roses cling 
Picture the same sweet love nest 
Think what a year can bring 

He's washing dishes and baby clothes 
He's so ambitious he even sews 
But don't forget folks 
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee 

Picture a little love nest 
Down where the roses cling 
Picture the same sweet love nest 
Think what a year can bring 

He's washing dishes and baby clothes 
He's so ambitious he even sews 
But don't forget folks 
That's what you get folks, for makin' whoopee 

For makin' whoopee 
For makin' whoopee 
So don't forget folks, 
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
