: : : Other versions I've seen include "Rogues do it from behind" (Penny Arcade) and "Milkmen do it on your doorstep" (Father Ted).

: : I'd like to think it all comes from a toast I once heard, although I suspect that's not the case.

: : Here's to it and for it and to it again,

: : The bees do it and die.
: : The birds do it and fly.
: : The dogs do it and stick to it,

: Let's Fall in Love (Cole Porter).

: Birds do it, Bees do it,
: even educated fleas do it,
: Let's do it, Let's fall in love.
