Let’s fall in love Dragonflies in the reeds do it Sentimental centipedes do it, Let’s do it. let’s fall in love The most refined ladybugs do it When a gentleman calls Moths in your rugs do it. What's the use of moth balls? The locusts up in the trees do it Even over-educated fleas do it Let’s do it. Let’s fall in love. [Verse 5] 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 hippopotami do it, Let’s do it. let’s fall in love Old 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 Pekingeses in the Ritz do it, Let’s do it. Let’s fall in love. [Verse 6] The nightingales in the dark do it Larks crazy for a lark do it, Let’s do it. Let’s fall in love Canaries caged in the house do it When they’re out of season grouse do it Let’s do it. Let’s fall in love. The most sedate barnyard fowls do it when a chanticleer cries. Highbrowed old owls do it; they’re supposed to be wise Penguins in flocks on the rocks do it Even little cuckoos in their clocks do it Let’s do it. Let’s fall in love [Instrumental] 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 they're short of rent did it Let’s do it. Let’s fall in love
