Lyrics: Yes

 

Everytime I hear that dear old wedding march
I feel rather glad I have a broken arch
I have heard a lot of married people talk
And I know that marriage is a long long walk
To most people weddings mean romance
But I prefer a picnic or a dance

Another bride
Another groom
The countryside
Is all in bloom
The flowers and trees is

The birds and bees is
Are making whoopee

The choir sings, "Here comes the bride"
Another victim is by her side
He's lost his reason

'Cause it's the season
For making whoopee

Down through the countless ages
You'll find it everywhere
Somebody makes good wages
Somebody wants her share

She calls him 'Toodles' and rolls her eyes
She makes him strudels and bakes him pies
What is it all for?
It's so he'll fall for making whoopee

Another year or maybe less
What's this I hear?
Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected and he's suspected
Of making whoopee

She sits alone most every night
He doesn't phone or even write
He says he's busy
But she says, "Is he?"
He's making whoopee

He doesn't make much money
Five thousand dollars per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You'll pay six to her"

He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says, "Budge right into jail"
You better keep her
You'll find it's cheaper
Than making whoopee
