Birds do it, bees do it

Even educated fleas do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


In Spain, the best upper sets do it

Lithuanians and Letts do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


CHORUS: The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it

Not to mention the Finns

Folks in Siam do it

Think of Siamese twins


Some Argentines Without means, do it

People say in Boston Even beans do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


Romantic sponges, They say, do it

Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


Cold Cape Cod clams

Against their wish do it

Even lazy jellyfish

Do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


CHORUS: Electric eels, I might add do it

Though it shocks them I know

Why ask if shad do it

Waiter bring me "Shad roe"


In shallow shoals, English soles, do it

Goldfish in the privacy of bowls, do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


The chimpanzees in the zoos, do it

Some courageous kangaroos, do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


I'm sure giraffes on a sly do it

Heavy hippopotamus do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


Old clogs who hang down from twigs, do it

Though the effort is great

Sweet guinea pigs, do it


By a couple and wait, the world admits

Bears in pits, do it

Even Pekingeses in the Ritz, do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


That's why birds do it

The dragonflies in the pools, do it

Sentimental centipedes, do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love


Mosquitoes Heaven forbid

In shallow shoals, English soles, do it

Goldfish in the privacy of bowls, do it

Let's do it, Let's fall in love
