Chorus 2: Another year or maybe less
What’s this I hear? Well can’t you guess?
She feels neglected and he’s suspected
Of makin’ whoopee.
She sits alone ’most ev’ry night
He doesn’t ’phone her, he doesn’t write
He says he’s “busy.” But she says, “Is he?
He’s makin’ whoopee.”
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?”
The judge says, “Budge, right into jail.
You’d better keep her I think it’s cheaper
Than makin’ whoopee.”
