Let's Do It - Benny Goodman, The Comets

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 Finns

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

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?

Garçon, 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
