Makin Whoopee Chords

(ver. 1)
Harry Nilsson
[Verse 1]
        Eb             Fm7    Bb7
Another bride, another June
        Eb   Eb7/Db Ab   Abm
Another sunny  honeymoon
        Eb              Db7
Another season, another reason
           Eb       Bb7
For makin' whoopee
 
[Verse 2]
         Eb              Fm7   Bb7
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
             Eb     Eb7/Db       Ab   Abm
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
           Eb                   Db7
Its really killin' that he's so willin'
        Eb
To make whoopee
 
[Bridge 1]
Eb7                   Ab
Picture a little love nest
Abm                  Eb     Bb7
Down where the roses cling
Eb7                         Ab
Picture the same sweet love nest
    Abm                   Eb     Bb7
And think what a year can bring
 
[Verse 3]
            Eb              Fm7     Bb7
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
          Eb    Eb7/Db    Ab  Abm
He's so ambitious he even sews
             Eb
But don't forget folks
               Db7
Thats what you get folks
           Eb
for makin' whoopee
 
[Verse 4]
        Eb             Fm7  Bb7
Another year, or maybe less
              Eb  Eb7/Db           Ab    Abm
What's this I hear, well can't you guess
            Eb                  Db7
She feels neglected and he's suspected
         Eb
Of makin whoopie
 
[Verse 5]
         Eb              Fm7   Bb7
She sits alone most everynight
           Eb       Eb7/Db       Ab    Abm
He doesn't phone her, he doesn't write
               Eb                       Db7
She says "He's busy." then she says "Is he?
            Eb
He's makin' Whoopee
 
[Bridge 2]
Eb7                  Ab
He doesn't make much money
Abm                        Eb   Bb7
Only five thousand dollars per
Eb7                        Ab
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Abm                   Eb     Bb7
Says, "You pay six to her."
 
[Verse 6]
              Eb               Fm7    Bb7
He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
                 Eb   Eb7/Db       Ab    Abm
The judge says, "Budge, right into jail.
             Eb                    Db7
You'd better keep her I think it's cheaper
            Eb
Than making whoopee."
