Let S Set A Date lyrics

Parody of `Let`s Do It, Let`s Fall in Love`)

MELANIE
When the little green snake
With its skin inclined to flake

HAKEEM
When the little green frog
In the shallows of the bog
Turns all red;
(It looks dead!)

MELANIE
When the little green toad
In the middle of the road
Gets squashed flat
Over at
The debate;

HAKEEM
Then that means it`s our turn
To go ahead and learn
To date

HAKEEM & MELANIE
And that`s why . . .

Whites do it, Blacks do it,
Ashkenazim and Cossacks do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

In St. Vincent, Grenadines do it,
People in the Philippines do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

In Myanmar, Burmans and Mons do it,
So do Arakanese;
Karens and Shans do it,
Quite as much as they please.

Marshallese, I believe, without leave do it,
Israelis living down in Tel Aviv do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

PAUL
Sephardic Jews do it, Sioux do it,
Even ni-Vanuatus do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Vaticans would, could they date, do it,
Free love vendors at the Haight do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

The Ainu in old Japan do it,
And Chamorros in Guam;
Folks in Iran do it,
(In Vietnamese accent) As well as the Cham,
In Vi-et-nam.

Basques by the Bay of Biscay do it,
Romantic Latins throughout Uruguay do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

SARAH
Subversive Reds in Kiev do it,
Same-sex couples in S.F. do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Veronans, now without feuds, do it,
Amish teens, if they`re not prudes, do it.
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Even the Kukukuku do it,
Although it may seem odd;
The Arabs, too, do it,
From Beirut to Riyadh;

Lasses and lads, in Scotch plaids, do it,
And, peripatetically, Nomads do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

ALAN
In Brooklyn, bees do it, birds do it,
Welsh, pursued by the tabloids, do it.
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Amadores, en Perú, do it,
Ne Nihon no zaibatsu do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

The males in Rome`s chaparrals did it,
With the opposite sex;
Neanderthals did it,
As well as the Aztecs.

And then, of course, ancient Norse did it,
Indulgent Classic Greeks without remorse did it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

TRINA
The Cajuns, while they`re still young, do it,
Mauritanians and Hmong do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

French-kissing French, mouth-to-mouth, do it,
Even rednecks, in the South, do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Less Puritanic Bombays do it,
Though it seems out of place;
It`s rumored, Greys do it,
Somewhere out there in space.

Outside the shrines, Palestines do it,
All their concupiscent concubines do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

PAUL
Brazilians down in Brazil do it,
Iraqis who have time to kill do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Polish Jews in the shtetlach do it,
Even Ulsters by the loch do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Hell`s Angels down in L.A. do it,
For a heavenly time;
Folks in Norway do it,
They`re just as hot as I`m!

Among the Moors, paramours do it,
Moroccans, too, who know how it allures do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

ALAN
The Swedes, more than you can tell, do it,
Cubans, even with Fidel, do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Rebellious Shakers, perhaps, do it,
Even Zyrians and Lapps do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

The Chinese in Chinatown do it,
They go out for chow mein;
Magindasaon do it,
Like the Spaniards in Spain.

Creoles, on trips, on cruise ships, do it,
In Long Beach, California, Bloods and Crips do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

SARAH
In nature, black channel bass do it,
Pairs of cichlids in their glass do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Some frenzied monkeys, we see do it,
Once per life can each drone bee do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

The lovebirds up in the air do it,
In their flashing display;
Lice in your hair do it,
What`s the use of louse spray?

The whole world gabs of how crabs do it,
Even little fruit flies in the labs do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Sidewinders, down by the sage, do it,
Axolotls underage do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

In cages, albino mice do it,
Even birds-of-paradise do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Vampire bats, as they fly, do it,
Hope they get their lips wiped;
Grey octopi do it,
They begin to turn striped.

Oysters, perplexed how they`re sexed, do it,
Bookworms, as according to the text, do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

TRINA
Bacilli, mildew and mold do it,
Rusts, though dating must get old, do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Seaweed and kelp, on the sand, do it.
Streptococci, I can`t stand, do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

Yeast strains with none else to do do it,
In the scientist`s cup;
Amoebas, too, do it,
Though they always split up.

The most discreet young gametes do it,
Even syphilitic spirochaetes do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

SARAH
Arundas, don`t ask me why, do it,
Though they`re simple, Tasaday do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

ALAN
Cheyenne and Osage, they claim, do it,
And Oneidas, all the same, do it,
Let`s do it, let`s set a date.

PAUL
The Hopi and Navajo do it,
The same with the Nez Perce;
All tribes we know do it,
In the whole universe.

HAKEEM & MELANIE:
So if the native Cherokee
And the Cree
Do it,
I think it worth
To ask why on Earth
Can`t we do it?

[Or: Then tell me why
Can`t you and I --
Can`t we -- do it?

ALL STUDENTS
So, let`s do it,
Let`s set a date.
Let`s -- set -- a -- date
