Even Lazy Jellyfish Do It

Let's Do It - Conal Fowkes (Cole Porter Cover)

When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing Spring
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring Ding dong Ding dong
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune to the moon up above
It is nature that is all
Simply telling us to fall in love
 
And that's why 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 Fins 
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, '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 shores English soles do it 
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it 
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Even goldfish and beans do it, so why don't we?
