Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love) Cole Porter

When the little bluebird,
Who has never said a word starts to sing "Spring, spring."
When the little bluebell, in the bottom of the dell, starts to ring "Ding, ding."
When the little blue clerk, in the middle of his work,
Starts a tune to the moon up above,
It is nature, that's all simply telling us to fall in love.

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
 
-- key change, short instrumental  --

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, ‘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 shadroe
 
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love

------------------------------------------ Original lyrics -----------------------------------

And that's why Chinks do it, Japs do it,
Up in Lapland, little Lapps 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.

The nightengales in the dark do it,
Larks, k-razy for a lark, do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
Canaries, caged in the house, do it,
When they're out of season, grouse do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
The most sedate barnyard fowls do it,
When a chanticleer cries,
High-browed old owls do it,
They're supposed to be wise.
Penguins in flocks, on the rocks, do it,
Even little cuckoos, in their clocks, do it.
Let's do it, let's fall in love.

Young whelks and winkles, in the pubs, do it,
Little sponges, in their tubs, do it.
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
Cold salmon, quite 'gainst their wish, do it,
Even lazy jellyfish do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
The most select schools of cod do it,
Though it shocks 'em, I fear,
Sturgeon, thank God do it,
Have some variar, dear.
In shady shoals, English soles do it,
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls, do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.

The dragonflies, in the reeds do it,
Sentimental centipedes do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
Mosquitoes, heaven forbid, do it,
So does ev'ry katydid, do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
The most refined lady bugs do it,
When a gentleman calls,
Moths in your rugs, do it,
What's the use of moth balls?
Locusts in trees do it, bees do it,
Even overeducated fleas 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 the sly, do it,
Heavy hippopotami do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
Old sloths who hang down from twigs do it,
Though the effort is great,
Sweet guinea pigs do it,
Buy a couple and wait.
The world admits bears in pits do it,
Even pekineses in the Ritz, do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
