Lyrics
[Verse 1]
But that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
[Verse 2]
In Spain, the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Letts do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
[Verse 3]
The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Finns
Folks in Siam do it, think of Siamese twins
[Verse 4]
Some Argentines without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
[Verse 5]
Romantic sponges they say do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
[Verse 6]
Cold Cape Cod clams against their wish do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
[Verse 7]
Electric eels, I might add, do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shads do it?
Waiter, bring me shad roe
[Verse 8]
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
[Verse 9]
The dragonflies in the reeds do it
Sentimental centipedes do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
[Verse 10]
Mosquitos, heaven forbid, do it
So does every katydid do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
[Verse 11]
The most refined ladybugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs do it
What's the use of moth balls?
[Verse 12]
Locusts in trees do it, bees do it
Even over-educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love
