(Until She Catches Him)
From “There’s No Business Like Show Business”, 1948
Words and music by Irving Berlin


The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

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
