"Makin' Whoopee" lyrics
"Makin' Whoopee"
(feat. Elton John)
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 killin'
That he's so willin' to make whoopee
Now picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring, yes
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
Another year, maybe less
What's this I hear? Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected, and he's suspected
Of makin' whoopee
Yeah, she sits alone
Most every night
He doesn't phone, he doesn't write
He says he's busy
But she says, "Is he?"
He's makin' whoopee
Now he doesn't make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You'll pay six to her."
He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
Judge say, "Budge. Right into jail
You'd better keep her. I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee."
Yes, yeah, you better keep her
Daddy, I think it's cheaper
Then makin' whoopee

Who could love and do that to you
All dressed in black, he won't be coming back
Save your tears, you've got years and years
The pains of seventeen's
Unreal they're...

With a black coat on
Running from a bad home
With some cat inside
Now where did you find her
Among the neon lights
That haunt the streets outside
She said, stay with me...

Only a fool maybe takes things for granted
Just because it's here today
It can be gone tomorrow

My heart said follow through

Singing my life with his words

Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song...
