MAN CHASES A GIRL, A

from 1954 film "There's No Business Like Show Business"


(Irving Berlin 1954)

Marilyn Monroe & Donald O'Connor
(film soundtrack)


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.

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.

Once you have found him, don't ever let him,
Once you have found him, don't ever let him,
Once you have found him, don't let him go.
