Another bride, Another June Another sunny honeymoon Another season, Another reason To make whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice The groom is nervous, uhh, he answers twice Its really killin', the boy's so willin' To make whoopee, whoopee
Picture a little love nest, yeah Down where the roses cling Picture that same sweet love nest See what a year can bring
I tell you the boy's washin' dishes 'n, baby clothes He's so ambitious, ooh, I tell you he sews Its really killin', the boy's so willin' To make whoopee, whoopee
You see, I don't make much money Only five, uh-uh, thousand per And some judge who thinks he's funny Tells me I got to pay six to her
I said now judge, suppose I fail? The judge says, "Ray, son, son, right on into jail. Ah, you better keep her. I think it's cheaper."
[spoken] You know what I've been doin', don't you? [crowd goes wild]
Gather around me, everybody gather around me While I testify, I feel the summer coming on me And the topic will be same, that's what I'm against If you wanna hear my story then just chill out Don't be uptight while I review the attitude of doing right
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister in between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum Bring gloom down to that minimum Have faith, or pandemonium Liable to walk up on the scene
To illustrate my last remark Talking about Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the Arc What did they do When everything looked so dark? Then they said
"We better ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister in between, no Don't mess with mister in between"
To illustrate my last remark Talking about Jonah in the Whale, Noah in the arc What did they do When everything looked so dark? Then they said
"We better ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive Eliminate all the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister in between, oh Don't mess with mister in between"
Don't you ever mess with mister inbetween Don't you mess with mister inbetween Don't you mess with mister inbetween
I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing but I must have used the wrong line I been in the right trip but I must have used the wrong car My head was in a bad place and I'm wondering what it's good for I been the right place but it must have been the wrong time My head was in a bad place but I'm having such a good time
I been running trying to get hung up in my mind Got to give myself a good talking-to this time Just need a little brain salad surgery Got to cure this insecurity
I been in the wrong place but it must have been the right time I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong song I been in the right vein but it seems like the wrong arm I been in the right world but it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
Slipping dodging sneaking creeping hiding out down the street See me life shaking with every ho' I meet Refried confusion is making itself clear Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
I been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time I'd have said the right thing but I must have used the wrong line I'd have took the right road but I must have took a wrong turn Would've made the right move but I made it at the wrong time I been on the right road but I must have used the wrong car My head was in a good place and I wonder what it's bad for
