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





Transcribed (from the stated recording) by Todd Peach 

Other verses I've seen in print follow:



In old Japan, all the Japs do it

Up in Lapland little Laps 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

Even eagles as they fly 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 - garcon de

 "shad roe"



The world admits bears in pits do it

Even Pekingeses at the Ritz do it

Let's do it, let's

 fall in love



The royal set sans regret did it

And they considered it fun

Marie Antoinette did it -

with or without Napoleon
