Some people have a ways of telling
Things that couldn't be true
I guess I'm one of those jokers
Because I've told a few
Like the guy that goes out fishing
You can always hear him say
"I got a few bites
But my luck wasn't right
And the big one got away"
Now I like to go out fishing
For the different kind of fish, you see
Collecting beautiful women
That's the kind of sport for me
But I lost my blue ribbon baby
Like the fisherman I'm gonna say
I had her right in my lap
But the line must have snapped
And the big onе got away
I've got a way with women
I know the right bait to toss
I know whеre to cast my lure for sure
And get my line across
Well, I really snagged a rare one
I wish you could have seen her play
I came very near
To the catch of the year
But the big one got away
I knew I hooked a dandy
When that beauty took a hold of my line
What a trophy to sit by my fireside
Just to show the friends of mine
Well, she took my hook line and sinker
But I couldn't reel her in to stay
I can catch my limit
Of everyday beauties
But the big one got away
But the big one got away
