Verse:

Ev'ry 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 a fallen brother take a bride.

Weddings make a lot of people sad, But if you're not the groom you're not so bad.

 

Chorus:

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, that's what you get folks, For Makin' Whoopee!
