standard eterno: a melodia inesquecível e aquela letra superlativa fazem desta canção de cole porter 
uma das minhas “all-time favorites”. apesar da grande versão de ella fitzgerald, esta ainda é a melhor. 
podia estar aqui a escrever inúmeros pormenores e factos curiosos associados à canção mas prefiro 
confessar apenas: os pássaros fazem-no, as abelhas fazem-no, vamos fazê-lo, vamos apaixonar-nos…

When the little bluebird 

Who has never said a word 

Starts to sing Spring

When the little bluebell 

At the bottom of the dell 

Starts to ring Ding dong Ding dong 

When the little blue clerk 

In the middle of his work 

Starts a tune to the moon up above 

It is nature that is all 

Simply telling us to fall in love

And that's why 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 deans 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

I've heard that lizards and frogs do it 

Layin' on a rock 

They say that roosters do it 

With a doodle and cock 

When the little bluebird 

Who has never said a word 

starts to sing Spring spring spring 

When the little bluebell 

At the bottom of the dell 

Starts to ring Ding ding ding 

When the little blue clerk 

In the middle of his work 

Starts a tune 

The most refined lady bugs do it 

When a gentleman calls 

Moths in your rugs they do it 

What's the use of moth balls 

The chimpanzees in the zoos do it, 

Some courageous kangaroos do it 

Let's do it, let's fall in love 

I'm sure sometimes on the sly you do it 

Maybe even you and I might do it 

Let's do it, let's fall in love
