Let's Do It
Molly Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In Spain, the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Latts do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Not to mention the Fins
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
Romantic sponges they say, do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it
Even lazy jellyfish, do it
Well 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 shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls 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 de
"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

In Brazilian Portuguese, "Bossa Nova" means "New Way" (of doing things). Back in the late 50's, in the Brazilian musical scenario, it meant a new way of playing samba. Rithmically speaking, bossa nova has the same structure of samba, but it is played much lighter way. When it comes to the harmony, it is known as a very sophisticated musical style, with some room for improvisation, but not as much as in jazz.
