A Man Chases a Girl (Until She Catches Him) Lyrics by Donald O’Connor

There’s No Business Like Show Business (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1954

[TIM]
A man chases a girl until she catches him
He runs after a girl until he's caught
He fishes for a girl until she's landed him
It all comes out exactly the way she thought
Uncertain, he tags along behind
Uncertain till she makes up his mind
A man chases a girl until she catches him
But don't run too fast while you are saying no
And once you've caught him, don't ever let him go
[Dance Interlude]
A man chases a girl...
[VICTORIA]
...until she catches him
[TIM]
He runs after a girl...
[VICTORIA]
...until he's caught
[TIM]
He fishes for a girl...
[VICTORIA]
...until she's landed him
[TIM]
It all comes out...
[VICTORIA]
...exactly the way she thought
[Dance Interlude]
[STATUES]
Once you've caught him, don't ever let him
Once you've caught him, don't ever let him
Once you've caught him, don't let him go
