CATCH THE BOUQUET
(H. Haller / F. Spielman)


Doris Day - 1965



Catch, catch, catch the bouquet
And you'll be, be married someday
Just like me, me, me
If you catch the bouquet

The day that my best friend got married
She looked like a dream come true
She threw me her beautiful flowers
And said, "Here is good luck to you"

Catch, catch, catch the bouquet
And you'll be, be happy someday
Just like me, me
That's what my folks used to say

Just try and catch, catch, catch the bouquet
And you'll be, be married someday
Just like me, me, me
If you catch the bouquet

I didn't believe it could happen
When I caught the wedding bouquet
But I fell in love with the right guy
And now it is my turn to say

Catch, catch, catch the bouquet
And you'll be, be married someday
Just like me, me, me
If you catch the bouquet

Though I know it's only a custom
A custom like old shoes and rice
Unless she is happily married
No girl can ignore my advice

Catch, catch, catch the bouquet
And you'll be, be happy someday
Just like me, me
That's what my folks used to say

Just try and catch, catch, catch the bouquet
And you'll be, be married someday
Just like me, me, me
If you catch the bouquet
If you catch the bouquet
If you catch the bouquet
