Let's Fall in Love
Paul Weston & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Birds do it, bees do it
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
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

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

Overall Meaning

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.

Gracias por este fantástico album de Paul Weston, otro de los grandísimos directores de orquesta norteamericanos de todos los tiempos. Su sección de metal siempre elegante vibrante y compacta como pocos, especialmente notables las versiones de "Cuban love Song" y "Adios".

" Excelentes MELODÍAS "

@guillermoguirado39

Gracias Gustavo! Por llevarnos de vuelta a un mundo bello y armonioso, como lo es toda esta maravillosa música, fiel reflejo de ese mundo que aún existe, sensible, luminoso, ardientemente vivo en lo más profundo de nuestros corazones, y que muy raras veces hemos compartido con alguien, en una deslumbrante epifanía de emociones. Tus videos, esa obra increíble que brilla como una antorcha en la oscuridad, nos ilumina el camino para encontrarnos con lo mejor de nosotros y lo mejor de nuestras vidas, y nos permite comulgar mental y espiritualmente, con todos aquellos que tienen la sensibilidad necesaria, para disfrutar de esas catedrales de la música, que son todas estas melodías. Gracias de nuevo hermano! Bendiciones!
