Why Shouldn’t It Happen To Us?

Lyrics

Never argue with your heart, it isn't smart, it isn't sound Love don't know from season, logic, rhyme or reason Love can be found in every port Love gets around, in short It has happened to a cricket in a thicket It has happened on a streetcar and a bus There has even been a rumor it has happened to a puma Why shouldn't it happen to us? It has happened to the mamma of a lama To a pelican and to an octopus Since it happened to the swordfish, it no longer is a "board fish" Why shouldn't it happen to us? It's elusive, profusive, nobody has an exclusive On love, man, beast or dove Take the regal old eagle, the porcupine and the beagle Yes the kangaroo all pitch woo It happened to a tuna at Laguna To a girl named Myrtle and a guy named Gus Why a lot of sense come to me by the shores of Isagumi Why shouldn't it happen to us? Oh the busy little hornet doesn't scorn it To ignore it really is ridiculous It's a ritual in Turkey, Motanique in Albuquerque Why shouldn't it happen to us? There's no ration on passion, l'amour is always in fashion It wings beggars and kings Take the cheetah and eeta, the halibut and the mosquito Yes, and billy-goats feel their oats Oh it thrills the tiny sparrow to its marrow And the armadillo deems it super-plus Why our ancient barnyard rooster finds it quite a morale booster Why shouldn't it happen to us? I had even heard a reindeer whisper "Please, say that again, dear," Why, oh why, shouldn't it happen to us?
