Mildred Bailey It's the Natural Thing to Do

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 every dove
Has a heart set on love
Squirrels too and they should
And you know a Woodchuck would

When a girl such as I
Tries so hard to qualify
With a very lovely boy such as you
Can't you see it's the natural thing to do?

Instrumental Interlude

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 every dove
Has its heart set on love
Squirrels too and they should
And you know a Woodchuck would

A girl oughta fall
If she tries at all
She should take him in her arms
And kiss him too
And you know that's the natural thing to do
