“It must be fun to be you
And play with love as you do”

Cole Porter

"It Must Be Fun To Be You"
Mexican Hayride (1944)
Context: It must be fun to be you
And play with love as you do
To treat each new romance
As merely one more dance
Or just another book to glance through
It must be fun to acquire
Whatever heart you desire,
And when you're bored with it
To tear it in two,
It must be fun to be you.

Love

“In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it.”

Cole Porter

Let's do it, let's fall in love.”

“The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,

Even eagles as they fly do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.”
