Lyrics
When the little bluebird
Who has never said a word
Starts to sing «Spring, spring»
When the little bluebell
At the bottom of the dell
Starts to ring, ding ding
When the little blue clerk
In the middle of his work
Starts a tune to the moon up above
It is nature, that’s all
Simply telling us to fall in love
And that’s why 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
Mosquitos, heaven forbid, do it So does every katydid do it Let’s do it, 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
The chimpanzees in the zoo 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
Sloths who hang down from the 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
