Catch Me If You Can Lyrics

(CHORUS)
Ooo hey, Well i'll be damned
I've been around the world and back again
From Japan and Amsterdam,
With a ticket in my hand, singing
Catch me if you can, catch
Catch me if you can
Ooo yeah, well i'll be damned
I've been around the world and back again
From Japan and Amsterdam,
with a ticket in my hand, singing
catch me if you can, catch
catch me if you can

what type of fuckery has been required lately,
it seems like these MC's heads need deflating,
and i'mma play the pin cause I've been waiting,
now make my mark on pop culture from my generation,
80s babies from the age of nintendo,
transformers, ninja turtles, hungry hippos,
GI joes, phot, can't forget the clothes
kangaroos with the zipper had a grip of those
breaking into heavy spinning on my elbows,
couldn't get me out my ____________
R.I.P

You know I miss you more then Shaq miss free-throws, that's alot
You put it back in the air, when the wee's (whistle) gone
Reminiscing bout when we were young, but now we've grown

Ooo hey, Well i'll be damned
I've been around the world and back again
From Japan and Amsterdam,
With a ticket in my hand, singing
Catch me if you can, catch
Catch me if you can
Ooo yeah, Well i'll be damned
I've been around the world and back again
From Japan and Amsterdam,
With a ticket in my hand, singing
Catch me if you can, catch
Catch me if you can

Comon ya'll
Lets talk about the scene for a minute,
I know we ain't been seen in a minute,
We left it for a minute now we all up in it
Baby boy if you've got them big dreams go and get it,
Never been the type with tight jeans, I wont fit it
When I see those scene girls, bet they all gonna get it
And I'm living clean
Now a lot of ya'll won't get it
Now it's mean but I don't give a damn if ya'll don't get it
So fresh and so clean in my new jean
While I'm laughing at the bacon, you're all crying a the clinic
I read a couple blogs and they had my ass livid
But now I've got my own to whirl, gotta live with it
Never played basketball, but I could show you how to dribble
Make your moves in that black hatch back Honda Civic
Like I did in high school, wishin' I could relive it
But I can't so let's go on, give the hook a revisit.

(BRIDGE)
Maybe I'm wrong,
But after 26 years I feel I've payed my dues
So when you play this song,
Just know that I live my life the way i choose,
And now I stand here proudly in L.A.
At a sold out crowd
And when no one's around
I refuse, to be as inferior to you

Ooo hey, well i'll be damned
I've been around the world and back again
From Japan and Amsterdam,
With a ticket in my hand, singing
Catch me if you can, catch
Catch me if you can
Ooo yeah, well i'll be damned
I've been around the world and back again
From Japan and Amsterdam,
With a ticket in my hand, singing
Catch me if you can, catch
Catch me if you can
Ooo yeah, well i'll be damned
I've been around the world and back again
From Japan and Amsterdam,
With a ticket in my hand, singing
Catch me if you can, catch
Catch me if you canOoo yeah, well i'll be damned
I've been around the world and back again
From Japan and Amsterdam,
With a ticket in my hand, singing
Catch me if you can, catch
Catch me if you can

ooooo hey
ha ha ha
yeahhh
ha ha ha

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

So many errors in this set that's been floating around the internet. And I can't even bother to try and understand everything Travis is saying, but here's what I can correct:

(CHORUS) Ooo (Hey) Well I'll be damned I've been around the world and back again (c'mon, c'mon) From Japan and Amsterdam, With a ticket in my hand singing "Catch me if you can, catch, Catch me if you can!" (x2)

What type of fuckery (?) required lately, It seems like these MC's heads need deflating, and I'mma play the pen because I've been waiting, Now make my mark on pop culture for my generation, 80s babies from the age of Nintendo, Transformers, Ninja Turtles, Hungry Hippos, GI Joes, Full time (?), can't forget the clothes Kangaroos with the zippers had a couple (?) those Breakin' 2 had me spinning on my elbows, Couldn't get me out my shell toes if hell froze.

R.I.P (NAMES)

You know I miss you more than Shaq miss free-throws (that's a lot!) You put the black in the air, when the weed's gone Reminisce on when we was young, but now we grown

(CHORUS)

C'mon ya'll Lets talk about the scene for a minute, I know we ain't been seen in a minute. We left you for a minute, now we all up in it, Baby boy if you've got them big dreams go and get it. Never been the type for tight jeans, I wont fit it, When I see those scene girls, bet they all gonna get it. And I'm living clean - now a lot of ya'll won't get it Know it's mean but I don't give a damn if ya'll don't get it So fresh and so clean in my Eugene fitted (?) While I'm laughing at the bank, and y'all crying at the clinic I read a couple blogs and they had my ass livid But now I've got my own to whirl, gotta live with it Never played basketball, but I could show you how to pivot Makin' moves in that black hatch-back Honda Civic Like I did in High School, wishin' I could relive it But I can't so let's go on and give the hook a revisit

(CHORUS)

(BRIDGE) Maybe if I'm wrong, But after 26 years I feel I've payed my dues So when you play this song, Just know that I live my life the way i choose, And now I stand here proud and I laugh (?) At a sold out crowd And when no one's around I refuse to feel inferior to you
