Makin' Whoopee
Love's Journey Unveiled: Making Whoopee in Life's Seasons
Lyrics
Another bride, another June
Another marriage, another month of June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another joyful honeymoon in the sun
Another season, another reason
Another period, another cause
For makin' whoopee
For engaging in romantic activities (making whoopee)
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
Many guests, much celebration, traditional wedding customs
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
The groom is anxious and eager, confirming commitment twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin'
Expressing the irony that his enthusiasm is distressing
To make whoopee
Willingness to engage in intimate relations
Picture a little love nest
Imagining a small, romantic dwelling
Down where the roses cling
Where roses symbolize love and passion
Picture the same sweet love nest
Reiterating the idyllic love nest
Think what a year can bring
Reflecting on the changes and challenges a year can bring
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
Depicting domestic responsibilities like washing dishes and caring for a child
He's so ambitious he even sews
Highlighting the groom's ambition, even in household chores
But don't forget folks,
Reminder that marriage involves both joy and responsibility
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Stating the consequences and challenges faced in married life
He doesn't make much money
Indicating the groom's modest income
Five thousand dollars per;
Specifying the groom's income as five thousand dollars
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Describing a judge with a humorous approach to alimony
Says, "You pay six to her."
Quoting the judge demanding a higher payment from the groom
He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The groom's plea to the judge about potential failure
The judge says, "Budge, right into jail.
The judge's response, advising the groom to go to jail if he fails
You'd better keep her
Suggesting it's economically preferable to keep the wife
I think it's cheaper
Expressing the judge's opinion that maintaining the marriage is cheaper
Than making whoopee."
Summarizing the theme of the song: the challenges and costs of marriage
