The Birds and the Bees
Dean Martin · Everybody Loves Somebody: The Reprise Years 1962-1 [2002]
Let me tell you bout the birds the bees and the flowers and the trees
And the moon up above and a thing called love
Let me tell you bout the stars in the sky a girl and a guy
And the way they could kiss on a night like this.
When I look into your big brown eyes it's so very plain to see
That it's time you learned about the facts of life startin' from A to Z
Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees the flowers and the trees
The moon up above and a thing called love.

When I look into your big brown eyes it's so very plain to see
That it's time you learned about the facts of life startin' from A to Z
Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees the flowers and the trees
The moon up above and a thing called love.
Let me tell you bout the birds the bees and the flowers and the trees
The stars in the sky a girl and a guy
The birds the bees and the flowers and the trees
The stars in the sky a girl and a guy...
