Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)
Frank Sinatra · Other Songs - Frank Sinatra
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 Dutch 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 they're short of rent did it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
