Irving Berlin - Doin' What Comes Naturally lyrics

Folks are dumb where I come from They ain't had any learnin' Still they're happy as can be Doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally Folks like us could never fuss With schools and books and learnin' Still we've gone from A to Z Doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally You don't have to know how to read or write When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight You don't have to look in a book to find What he thinks of the moon or what is on his mind That comes naturally That comes naturally My uncle out in Texas Can't even write his name He signs his checks with X's But they cash 'em just the same If you saw my pa and ma You'd no they had no learnin' Still they raised a family Doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally Uncle Jed has never read An almanac on drinkin' Still he's always on a spree Doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally Sister Sal who's mus-i-cal Has never had a lesson Still she's learned to sing off-key Doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally You don't have to go to a private school Not to pick up a penny by a stubborn mule You don't have to have a professor's dome Not to go for the honey when the bee's at home That comes naturally That comes naturally My tiny baby brother Who's never read a book Knows one s** from the other All he had to do was look Grandpa Bill is on the hill With someone he just married There he is at ninety-three Doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally Sister Lou ain't got a sou Although she goes out shoppin' She gets all her stockings free Doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally Cousin Nell can't add or spell But she left school with honors She got every known degree For doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally You don't have to come from a great big town Not to clean out a stable in an evening gown You don't have to mix with the Vanderbilt's Not to take off your panties when you're wearing kilts That comes naturally That comes naturally My mother's cousin Carrie Won't ever change her name She doesn't want to marry And her children feel the same Sister Rose has lots of beaus Although we have no parlor She does fine behind a tree Doin' what comes naturally Doin' what comes naturally
