"Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)" Cole Porter's masterpiece--and others
southendmd:
The great Noel Coward had to try to one-up Mr. Porter with his celebrity version, probably from the '50s.

A few choice lines:
The Brontes felt that they must do it,
Ernest Hemingway could----just----do it...
E. Allen Poe, ho ho ho, did it, but he did it in verse,
H. Beecher Stowe did it, but she had to rehearse.
In Texas some of the men do it,
Others drill a hole and then do it...
Teenagers squeezed into jeans do it,
Probably we'll live to see machines do it...
Each tiny clam you consume does it,
Even Liberace, we assume, does it...
Let's do it, let's fall in love!

"In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love."
Young man....but what does that have to do with Paul?
:o
*runs*

I've got some fancy thoughts about you, but they have nothing to do with love!

Uh oh! Do I sense a flick coming my way in Boston? :laugh:

THanks for these posts, Paul, they are wonderful. However, now I've got that song stuck solidly in my head! ::)
