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,
Sings a song to the moon up above
It is nature, that's 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,
Honey, 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, just think of Siamese twins
Some Argentines without means do it
People say in Boston even they do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The nightingales in the dark do it
Larks crazy 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
I wanna do it, I wanna fall in love
Electric eels I might add do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shad do it
Somebody 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
Old sloths who hang up side down do it
Though the effort is great
Sweet guinea pigs do it; just buy a couple and wait
The world admits snakes in pits do it,
Little pekineses in the Ritz do it,
I wanna do it, I wanna fall in love...
Now listen:
Every refined ladybugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs do it
What's the use of moth balls?
And penguins in flocks on the rocks do it
And cuckoos in their clocks do it
All we got to do it damn it, fall in love!
I just wanna fall... somebody let me fall... somebody help me fall in love...
