Let It Snow
Glenn Zottola And His All Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upper Lapland little Lapps do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
In Spain the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Lits do it
Let's do it
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
Cold Cape Cod clams
'Gainst their wish do it
Even lazy jelly fish do it
Let's do it
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 the shallow shoals English soles do it
Goldfish in privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it
We'll do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
