Let's Fall in Love

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,
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, lets fall in love

In Spain, the best upper sets do it,
Even all the New York Mets do it
Let's do it, lets fall in love

The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it,
Not to mention those Fins
Folks in Siam do it - just think of Siamese twins

Some Argentines, without means, do it
People say in Boston, even beans do it
Let's do it, lets fall in love

Romantic sponges, they say, do it
Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it
So let's do it, lets fall in love

Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it
Even gooey jellyfish do it
Let's do it, lets fall in love

Electric eels, I might add, do it
Though it shocks 'em I know, oh!
And why ask if shad do it - hey waiter, bring me shad roe

In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, lets fall in love

[Spoken]
Oh come on, let's fall in love
[Men chant] We'd love to!
Well?
[Men chant] No can do!
Why?
[Men chant] Our wives wouldn't like it!
Oh.
