The Lithuanians and the Latvians do it
Let's do it, let's love!
The Germans in Berlin do it
And people also do it in Bonn...
People in Bombay do it
The Indians think it's good.
The Japanese children, the nikkei1 and the third generation of Japanese emigrants do it
Back in San Francisco, a lot of gay people do it
Let's do it, let's love!
Low quality chickens do it
And they never say ‘no’
And owls, yes, they do it
As wise as they are
And the turkeys, all naked, do it
Hawks, peacocks and vultures do it
Let's do it, let's love!
The piranhas do it only for its sake
Lovers do it for pleasure
Let's do it, let's love!
Electric fishes do it well
Between kisses and shocks
Broadnose sharks are also doing it
Not to mention the haddocks
Salmons in salt, in general, do it

Let's do it, let's love!
Dragonflies and black chickens do it
Centipedes do it with no problem
Let's do it, let's love!
Praying mantises do it for faith
People say that chigoe fleas8 are doing it
Let's do it, let's love!
Moths9 also do it
With an unusual passion
Dear, crickets do it
And they don’t worry about it
Male bees do it with their stingers
Fleas in under panties and in shorts do it
Let's do it, let's love!
Anteaters and armadillos do it
Courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's love!
Rabbits, only and alone, do it
Monkeys hanging on woody vines do it
Let's do it, let's love!
Girls with their beautiful boyfriends9 are doing it
Sighing out loud
The handsome guys do it
These guys do it a lot
Bare lions, under the sky, do it
Bears, who feast on honey, do it
Let's do it, let's love!
Let's do it, let's love!
