Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love) Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

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 shoals English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let′s fall in love

The chimpanzees in the zoos do it
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

I′m sure giraffes on the sly do it
Heavy hipopotamus do it
Ooh, let′s do it, let's fall in love

Oh, sloths who hang down from twigs do it
Though the effort is great
Sweet guinea pigs do it
Buy a couple and wait

The world admits bears in pits do it
Even Pekin geeses at the Ritz do it
Let′s do it, let's just fall in love

That′s why birds do it...


The dragonflies in the reet do it
Sentimental centypedes do it
Let's do it, let′s fall in love

Mosquitos, heaven forbid...

In shallow shows, english souls do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall...
