Take a tiny shiny hook and a little piece of bait
And you're bound to catch a fish if you're calm enough to wait

But how do you catch a girl?
How do you catch a girl?

And he found an icy river and he set a little trap
And he took a bite of jerky and he took a little nap
And he knew he'd catch a beaver or a fat muskrat

But how do you catch a girl?
How do you catch a girl?

I'd like to know how to catch a girl
I've caught frogs
I've caught snakes earthworms and they may be nice
But girls - woahh
