Let’s Do It Lyrics by Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson

The Complete Ella and Louis On Verve

0

[Intro]
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, "Ting, ting"
When the little blue clerk in the middle of his work
Starts the tune to the moon up above
It is nature, that's all
Simply telling us to fall in love, oh yes

[Verse 1]
And that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

[Verse 2]
In Spain, the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Letts do it
Let's do it, mama, let's fall in love

[Bridge 1]
Oh, the dutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Finns
Folks in Siam do it
Just think of the Siamese twins

[Verse 3]
Some Argentines without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it, mmm
Let's do it, let's fall in love

[Verse 4]
Oh romantic sponges, they say, "Do it"
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

[Verse 5]
Cold cape cod clams 'gainst their wish do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, mama, let's fall in love

[Bridge 2]
Electric eels I might add do it
Though it shocks them I know
Why ask if shad do it
Waiter bring me shad roe

[Verse 6]
In shallow shoals English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

[Verse 7]
Oh, dragonflies in the reeds do it
Sentimental centipedes do it, yes
Let's do it, mama, let's fall in love, (scat)

[Verse 8]
Mosquitos, heaven forbid, do it
So does every katydid do it
Oh, let's do it, mama, let's fall in love

[Bridge 3]
The most refined ladybugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs do it
Well looka here, what's the use of balls? Mmm

[Verse 9]
Locusts in the trees do it, why, even the bees do it
Even over-educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love

[Verse 10]
I said, the chimpanzees in the zoo do it
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, mama, let's fall in love, oh, fall in love

[Verse 11]
I'm sure giraffes on the sly do it
Heavy hippopotami do it
Let's do it, mama, let's fall in love

[Bridge 4]
Oh, 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!

[Verse 12]
Now, the world admits bears in pits do it
Even Pekingeses in the Ritz do it
Let's do it, mama, let's fall in love
