Ella Fitzgerald

Let's 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.
Bridge:
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.
Bridge 2:
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.
