That's the Way It Happens Lyrics

1953 Broadway
Me and Juliet the Musical - That's the Way It Happens Lyrics

The song is written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II.

You′re a girl from Chicago
On the road with a show
Not a soul in New Haven
You can say you know
You wish you were a mile
Or so from Michigan Lake
Home with your mother
And a T-bone steak

Then along comes a fella
With a smile like a kid
And he gets your attention
With a timely bid
He says he knows a bistro
Where they give you a break
With French fried potatoes
And a T-bone steak

You are shy and uncertain,
But he pleads and you yield
And you don't have an inkling
That you′re signed and sealed
By merely telling someone
You'd be glad to partake
Of French fried potatoes
And a T-bone steak

That's the way it happens
That′s the way it happens
That′s the way it happened to me!

You're a guy from New Haven
On the road with a show
There′s a girl in the company
That you hardly know
You watch her
And you wonder if she'd like to partake
Of French fried potatoes
And a T-bone steak

Then along comes a fella
Who is quicker than you
You sure great in the show
Oh, thanks
Wanna grab a bite to eat?
And he does what you thought
That you would like to do
Gee, it′s kinda late
I know a swell place
He takes her to a bistro
Where they give you a break
With French fried potatoes
And a T-bone steak
Great steaks,
And you'll love the band
I′d be glad to!
