It's The Natural Thing To Do 1937

Hasn't anyone ever told you
what life is all about?
It's strange that you can be
so self contained.
You're afraid to display emotion
and so I have no doubt
that certain facts
will have to be explained.

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.
When a sad, moon struck cow
would be glad to make a vow
when she lifts her head
and sighs a lonely "moo"
that's because
it's the natural thing to do
and you know ev'ry dove
has its heart set on love
Squirrels too and they should;
and you know a wood chuck would,
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.

When a girl acts demure
and the boy feels proud and sure,
and impulsively suggests a rendezvous;
That's because
it's the natural thing to do.
But the girl won't agree
tho' he begs on bended knee
then she runs away and knows
that he'll pursue;
That's because
it's the natural thing to do.
Then the boy in despair
waves his arms,
tears his hair,
stamps his feet,
acts like mad,
that's because he's got it bad.
Then the girl ought to fall
if she's got a heart at all,
she should take him in her arms
and kiss him too,
and you know
that's the natural thing to do.
