I've got you deep in the heart of me.
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above. Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love Don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please Don't fence me in
Some Argentines, without means, do it, People say, in Boston , even beans do it. Let's do it, let's fall in love .
Brush up your Shakespeare, Start quoting him now, Brush up your Shakespeare And the women you will wow.
The chimpanzees in the zoos do it, Some courageous kangaroos do it Let's do it, let's fall in love. I'm sure giraffes on the sly do it, Even eagles as they fly do it, Let's do it, let's fall in love.
What moments divine , what rapture serene.
My sole inspiration is a telephone call from a director.
There's an, oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me.
Night and day, you are the one.
It was great fun, But it was just one of those things.
All the world loves a clown.
The world admits bears in pits do it, Even Pekingeses at the Ritz do it, Let's do it, let's fall in love.
Live and let live, be and let be, Hear and let hear, see and let see. . . . Live and let live and remember this line: 'Your bus'ness is your bus'ness and my bus'ness is mine.'
Let's Do It; Let's Fall in Love.
