hello i'm trying to find out what this song's name is.
i don't know the melody or the complete lyric, i just remember a hint of it so it might be a tough one..

"why can't ... birds do all the time ..."
or something like that..
any help of hints are appreciated..

cole porter: let's do it, let's fall in love?

"birds do it, bees do it,
even educated fleas do it."

burt bacharach: close to you?

"why do birds
suddenly appear
every time
you are near?"

sorry, it's something that is sitting far back in my memory, i'm sure it's a pretty old song, and should be a jazz standard or something simular in age. none of those you mentioned though. i distinctly remember it having "birds do all the time" in the lyric, i think it is something like "why can't we? birds do all the time.." but that's all.. maybe i'll come up with more later.

thanks for trying though :)
