"Let's Do It"


"Let's Do It"

(a parody on Cole Porter in 5 choruses)

(well, Noel Coward did it)


1.


White mice with rapturous squeaks do it
Plumbers after plugging up your leaks do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Great thinkers sit and ask why do it
Often maiden aunties on the sly do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
The penguins far out at sea do it
They're so properly dressed
As Portnoy why didn't he do it
He was very repressed
Fat fleas in feverish fits do it
Television preachers at the Ritz do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love




2.


Some folks before shoes and rice do it
Using every possible device do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Marcel recalling past times did it
Mariners while sucking on their limes did it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
What is Clark Kent on the prowl for
When he's wearing his cape
And Batman puts on a cowl for
A clandestine escape
A. Graham Bell on the phone did it
Solemn Nietzsche sitting all alone did it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love



3.


Poirot who's no Provencal does it
Sweet Miss Marple straightening her shawl does it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Medieval monks just for Lent did it
Hammerstein with lots of sentiment did it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Fat bumble bees with such class do it
When they're buzzing along
Rich T.V. preachers en masse do it
To the clamoring throng
Hermaphrodites maybe twice do it
People that you think are very nice do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love



4.


Old Johann Bach yessirree did it
In between cantatas constantly did it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
The Barrymores and the Lunts did it
Maybe God and Mary more than once did it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Some fussy prostitutes cuss men
And give nothing away
Although some others like busmen
Take a nice holiday
Soft pussy cats when they must do it
William Buckley can but only just do it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love



5.


Great men in each former age did it
Lady Chatterley on every page did it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Fat Santa Claus in the snow does it
With all the little elves he - ho, ho, ho does it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
Miss Murdoch in every book does it
And she's very profound
But Sherlock Holmes says one look does it
If your logic is sound
And Casanova you bet did it
With absolutely everyone he met did it
Let's do it
Let's fall in love
