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

Cold Cape Cod clams against 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

The dragonflies in the reeds do it
Sentimental centipedes do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

So does every katydid do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love...

When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs do it
What's the use of moth balls?

Locusts in trees do it, bees do it
Even over-educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

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