Let's do it: let's fall in love

[Verse 3]
The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Fins
Folks in Siam do it, think of Siamese twins

[Verse 4]
Some Argentines, without means, do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it: let's fall in love

[Verse 5]
Romantic sponges, they say, do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let's do it: let's fall in love

[Verse 6]
Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish, do it
Let's do it: let's fall in love
[Verse 7]
Electric eels, I might add, do it
Though, it shocks 'em, I know
Why ask if shad do it? Waiter, bring me
"shad roe"

[Verse 8]
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish, in the privacy of bowls, do it
Let's do it: let's fall in love
