Why even in France the best upper sets do it, Lithuanians and Letts do it

Let's do it, let's fall in love

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 Deutch in old Amsterdam do it, not to mention the Fins

Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins

In shallow shoals English souls 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, 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

Parliament pleasure bent did it, mam'selles every time their short of rent did it

Let's do it, let's fall in love
