Ray Charles - Makin' Whoopee! Lyrics
Another bride, Another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, Another reason
To make whoopee
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'
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]

maravilha!!!!! os deuses tocam e cantam também!!!!!!
Beautiful....
I saw Ray singing this at a concert in London way back in the 60s.
Best version of this song EVER! I've been listening to this for years (decades) and it never ceases to amaze me
Fkn A! So great!
This is Ray!
Those who voted this down have not a clue.....
It’s come to bed baby lyrics and Ray you won me over love 😍 RIP
My favorite Ray song. My Father was a pianist and continued to play up until he passed away at 75. I would stop by his house and he would say, "Listen to this." I would say under my breath," Oh no." Nonetheless, when I was in the mood to hear him play, I would request that he played this song, as well as, Mercy, Mercy, by Cannon Ball Adderly. It's sad that you don't realize greatness when it's right there before you all of your life until it's gone. He definitely, played the hell out of this song!!!
This and Mercy,Mercy, Mercy two of my favorites , saw Ray do this in '69
I don't think even today there are many who cloud play the piano that way. Pretty outstanding.
Amazing!
could the beat be any more sexy? cool? toe tappingly great?
GOOD LIVING!!!!
Straight up pantydropper hmmmm?
oh my God.....the very best!
If Jesus played the piano and sang. This would be it!!!
Maybe but I suspect he wouldn't have chosen this song.
This has to be the dirtiest piano lead-in ever played.
Suh-wheat!!!
Brillant... ! ! ! !
The Master. The feel & tempo - wow. Rhythm section - so relaxed. Brilliant connection with the audience. Wish I had been there!
