Tom Lehrer used the first 2 lines of the songs a parody in the song "She's My Girl" with the opening line: "Sharks Got to Swim, and Bats Got to Fly. I got to Love One Woman Till I Die". Years later, he quoted the opening line of the Refrain in the song "Pollution" with the words: "Fish Got to Swim, and Birds Got to Fly", in which Lehrer concludes the next line with "But they don't last long if they try".
