Porter: Let's Do It

When the little blue bird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing spring spring

When the little blue bell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to right ding ding

When the little blue plurk
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
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 Latts 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 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
