When a bird young and free
Hangs around a certain tree
Singing serenades that tell his love is true
That`s because it`s the natural thing to do.
And when a cat on a fence
Keeps his darling in suspense
And he`s brave enough to face a well-aimed shoe
That`s because it`s the natural thing to do.
And you know every dove
Has its heart set on love,
Rabbits, too, pet and pat,
And there`s nothin wrong with that!
When a boy such as I
Tries so hard to qualify
With a very lovely lady such as you.
Can`t you see it`s the natural thing to do?
And then the girl she acts demure
The boy he feels proud and sure
So proud and sure that he impulsively suggests a rendevous.
Fine thing!
That`s because it`s the natural thing to do.
But the girl she just won`t agree.
She whimpers and she simpers
And he begs on bended knee.
But she runs away because she knows full well he`ll pursue.
The chump!
That`s because it`s the natural thing to do.
Then the boy in despair
Waves his arms, tears his hair.
Stamps his feet and he acts like mad
Then you know that he`s got it bad.
Then the girl she oughta fall
If she`s got a heart at all.
She should take him in her arms
And kiss him too.
Oh! Oh! Just the natural thing to do.
