Another year or maybe less

what's this I hear? Well you can't you guess

She feels neglected and he's suspected

of makin' whoopee

She sits alone most every night
He doesn't phone her he doesn't write
he says he's busy but she say's "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 better keep her i think it's cheeper
then makeing whoopee

you better keep her 
I know it's cheaper than makin' whoopee
