Doin' What Comes Natur'lly Songtext
von Doris Day

Folks are dumb where I come from, they ain′t had any learnin'
Still, they′re happy as can be, a-doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally

Folks like us could never fuss with schools and books and learnin′
Still, we′ve gone from A to Z, a-doin' a-what comes naturally
Doin′ a-what comes naturally

You don't have to know how to read or write
When you′re out with a feller in the pale moonlight

You don't have to look in a book to find
What he thinks of the moon or what is on his mind
That comes naturally
That comes naturally

My uncle don′t pay taxes
His address never gives
They can't collect his taxes
Cause they don't know where he lives


Cousin Ben got angry when they caught him stealin′ chickens
I′m with-in my right said he a-doin' what comes naturally
Doin′ a what comes naturally

Uncle Jed was never read an almanac on drinking
Still, he's always on a spree, a-doin′ a-what comes naturally
Doin' a-what comes naturally

Sister Sal who′s musical has never had a lesson
Still, she's learned to sing off-key, doin' a-what comes naturally
Doin′ a-what comes naturally

You don′t have to go to a private school
Not to turn up your Bussel to a stubborn mule

You don't have to come from a great big town
Not to clean out a stable in an evening gown
That comes naturally
That comes naturally

My uncle out in Texas can′t even write his name
He signs his checks with x-s but they cash 'em just the same

Grandpa Dick was always sick but never saw a doctor
He just died at ninety-three a-doin′ a-what comes naturally
Doin' a-what comes naturally
