Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love) - Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie

When the little blue bird who has never said a word Starts to sing "spring, spring" When the little blue bell in the bottom of the dell Starts to ring "ding, ding" When the little blue clerk in the middle of his work Starts to tune to the moon up above It is nature that's all Simply telling us to fall in love (oh yes) 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, mama let's fall in love Oh 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 Oh romantic sponges, they say, do it Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it Let's do it, mama let's fall in love Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it Even lazy jellyfish, do it Let's do it, mama 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 (ohhh) The dragonflies in the reeds do it Sentimental centipedes do it Let's do it it, mama let's fall in love Mos-qui-tos, heaven forbid, do it Soon as every katydid do it Oh let's do it, mama lets' fall in love The most refined lady bugs do it When a gentleman calls Moths in your rugs do it What's the use of moth balls Locusts in trees do it Why even a bees do it, even over-educated fleas do it I let that do it, let's fall in love! Ask that the chimpanzees in the zoos do it Some courageous kangaroos do it Let's do it, mama let's fall in love! Ooh, fall in love I'm sure that giraffes on the sly do it Heavy hippopotomi do it Let's do it, mama let's fall in love Old sloths who hang down from the twigs do it Though the effort is great, yes Sweet guinea pigs do it Buy a couple and wait! Now the world admits bears in the pits do it Even pekingeses in the Ritz do it Let's do it, mama let's fall in love!

There's a game in the world, a little bit of cat and mouse With the boys and the girls, and if I had to ante up I'd bet on the birds, 'cause they don't have to get caught up With the boys and the girls and a little game of cat and mouse Mommy did it, daddy did it The funny little monkeys in the zoo will do it The stupid does it, the ugly do it Only the unlucky of us get to do it Let's fall in love (let's fall in love) There's a game in the world, a little bit of cat and mouse With the boys and the girls, and if I had to ante up I'd bet on the birds, 'cause they don't have to walk around With the boys and the girls and a little bit of cat and mouse Mommy did it, daddy did it Even though I bet they wish they really didn't Mary did it, Joey did it Even little baby, baby Jesus did it Yuppies do it, junkies do it The funny little monkeys in the zoo will do it The stupid does it, the foolish do it Only the unlucky of us get to do it Let's fall in love Let's fall in love Haah-haah-haah-haah Haah-haah-haah-haah Haah-haah-haah-haah Mommy did it, daddy did it The funny little monkeys in the zoo will do it The stupid does it, the ugly do it Only the unlucky of us get to do it.

We might have been meant for each other To be or not to be Let our hearts discover I have a feeling It's a feeling I'm concealing I don't know why It's just a mental Incindental, sentimental alibi But I adore you So strong for you Why go on stalling I'm falling Love is calling Why be shy? Let's fall in love Why shouldn't we Fall in love? Our hearts are made of it Let's take a chance Why be afraid of it? Let's close our eyes And make our own paradise Little we know of it Still we can try To make a go of it Now we might have been meant for each other To be or not to be Let our hearts discover Let's fall in love Why shouldn't we Fall in love? Now is the time for it While we are young Let's fall in love Let's fall in love Let's fall in love

Ev'ry honeybee fills with jealousy When they see you out with me I don't blame them goodness knows Honeysuckle rose When you're passin' by flowers drop and sigh And I know the reason why You're much sweeter goodness knows Honeysuckle rose Don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup You're my sugar it's so sweet when you stir it up When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose. Don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup You're my sugar it's so sweet when you stir it up When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips You're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose I said you're confection goodness knows Honeysuckle rose

Creme tangerine de Montelimar A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle Cool cherry cream (nice apple tart) I feel your taste all the time we're apart Coconut fudge really blows down the blues But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle You might not feel it now But when the pain cuts through You're going to know and how The sweat is going to fill your head When it becomes too much You're going to shout aloud (But you'll have to have them all pulled out) (After the Savoy truffle) Creme tangerine (de Montelimar) A ginger sling with a pineapple heart A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news But you'll have to have them all pulled out After the Savoy truffle
