Let's Fall In Love
Paul Weston & His Orchestra 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 Letts do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
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
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
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 shadroe
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The song Let's Fall In Love by Paul Weston & His Orchestra is a playful and jazzy invitation to love. The first stanza introduces the idea that everyone, including birds, bees, and even fleas, fall in love. The chorus is a call to action for the listener to do the same, regardless of background or circumstance.
The following stanzas give specific examples of people and creatures who fall in love. From the upper classes in Spain, to the Dutch in Amsterdam, to the exotic Siamese twins, the song suggests that love is universal and crosses all boundaries. Even those without means in Argentina, and supposedly even beans in Boston, fall in love. The song even includes unlikely creatures like cold Cape Cod clams and jellyfish, as well as electric eels, who despite the shock, still manage to find love.
