Never argue with your heart, it isn't smart, it isn't sound
Love don't know from season, logic, rhyme or reason
Love can be found in every port
Love gets around, in short

It has happened to a cricket in a thicket
It has happened on a streetcar and a bus
There has even been a rumor it has happened to a puma
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
It has happened to the mamma of a lama
To a pelican and to an octopus
Since it happened to the swordfish, it no longer is a "board fish"
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
It's elusive, profusive, nobody has an exclusive
On love, man, beast or dove
Take the regal old eagle, the porcupine and the beagle
Yes the kangaroo all pitch woo
It happened to a tuna at Laguna
To a girl named Myrtle and a guy named Gus
Why a lot of sense come to me by the shores of Isagumi
Why shouldn't it happen to us?

Oh the busy little hornet doesn't scorn it
To ignore it really is ridiculous
It's a ritual in Turkey, Motanique in Albuquerque
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
There's no ration on passion, l'amour is always in fashion
It wings beggars and kings
Take the cheetah and eeta, the halibut and the mosquito
Yes, and billy-goats feel their oats
Oh it thrills the tiny sparrow to its marrow
And the armadillo deems it super-plus
Why our ancient barnyard rooster finds it quite a morale booster
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
I had even heard a reindeer whisper "Please, say that again, dear,"
Why, oh why, shouldn't it happen to us?
