The Alanis song is actually not by her, it's a cover of the old standard "Let's Do It (Let's Fall In Love)"
The full lyrics:
birds do it, bees do it
even educated fleas do it
let's do it, let's fall in love
in spain, the best upper sets do it
lithuanians and letts do it
let's do it, let's fall in love
the dutch in old amsterdam do it
not to mention the finns
folks in siam do it
think of siamese twins
some argentines, without means, do it
people say, in boston, even beans do it
let's do it, let's fall in love
romantic sponges, they say, do it
oysters, down in oyster bay, do it
let's do it, let's fall in love
cold cape cod clams, against their wish, do it
even lazy jellyfish do it
let's do it, let's fall in love
electric eels, i might add, do it
though it shocks 'em, i know.
why ask if shad do it
waiter, bring me shad roe.
in shallow shoals, english soles do it
goldfish, in the privacy of bowls, do it
let's do it, let's fall in love
