Let's Fall In Love
Johnny Hodges & Duke Ellington Lyrics

When the little blue bird who has never said a word Starts to sing, "Spring, spring"
When even the quietest, smallest beings, such as a blue bird, sing out in joyful anticipation of spring

When the little blue bell in the bottom of the dell Starts to ring, "Ting, ting"
When even inanimate objects, such as blue bells, begin to make music and sounds to celebrate the arrival of spring

When the little blue clock in the middle of his work Sings a song to the moon up above It is nature that's all Simply telling us to fall in love
When even time itself seems to be singing love songs to the moon, it is a sign that nature is urging us to fall in love and embrace the season of spring

And that's why birds do it Bees do it Even educated fleas do it Let's do it, let's fall in love
Because all of nature is responding to the call of spring and falling in love, we too should follow suit and allow ourselves to fall in love

In Spain, the best Upper sets do it Lithuanians and let's do it Let's do it, let's fall in love
In Spain, even the most high society members fall in love, and the Lithuanians also embrace the season of love, so we too should follow their lead and fall in love

The dutch in old Amsterdam do it Not to mention the fins Folks in Siam do it Think of Siamese twins
From the Dutch in Amsterdam to the people of Siam, all cultures embrace the season of spring and the love it brings, so we should do the same

Some Argentines Without means, do it People say in Boston even beans do it Let's do it, let's fall in love
Even those without much in life, such as some Argentines, still fall in love in the spring, and even in Boston people say that even beans fall in love, so we too should allow ourselves to experience the joys of falling in love

Sponges They say, "Do it" Oysters down in oyster bay do it Let's do it, let's fall in love
Even the simplest creatures of the sea, like sponges and oysters, embrace the season of love, so we too should let ourselves 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
Even creatures who may not have wanted to fall in love, such as clams and jellyfish, still do so in the spring, so we should also allow ourselves to 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 bring me shad roe Come on and bring me, bring me shad roe
Even creatures who may not seem capable of love, like electric eels, still follow the call of spring and the season of love. It reminds the singer of the love of a particular fish dish, and he asks the waiter to bring it to him

In shallow shoals English soles do it Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it Let's do it, let's fall in love
Even fish in shallow waters or in the privacy of their own bowls follow the season of love, so we too should allow ourselves to fall in love

Now if the birds and the bees and the trees do it The monkeys and the birds, bees do it In, in water gates they quarrel but they do it And if they can make up and still do it baby, how about me and you?
If even the most unlikely and diverse creatures of nature can fall in love and work through their differences to do so, then surely we too can fall in love and work through any issues to make it last

Hey let's do it now Let's do it, let's fall in love
The final call to embrace the season of love and let ourselves fall in love
