Lets Do It

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.

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 spon – ges they say      do it;

Oysters down in Oyster Bay    do it —

Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.

Cold Cape Cod clams, ‘gainst their wish    , do it;

Even lazy jellyfish    do it —

Let’s do it, let’s fall in love.

Electric eels, I might add, do it,

Though it shocks ’em 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.
