Loading...

taking a chance on love
the benny goodman orchestra
words and music by john latouche and ted fetter plus additional music by
vernon duke

in 1943, benny goodman hit # 1 with it and sammy kaye got to # 13.
introduced by ethel waters in the broadway musical “cabin in the sky.”
waters later reprised it as a non-charting single with dooley “play it
again, sam” wilson.
then, in 1943, waters did it in the movie version with eddie “rochester”
anderson

1
here i go again;
i hear those trumpets blow again;
all aglow again – taking a chance on love.
here i slide again;
about to take that ride again.;
starry eyed again – taking a chance on love.

i thought the cards were a frame-up
i never would try.
but now i’m taking the game up
and the ace of hearts is high.

things are mending now;
i see a rainbow blending now;
we’ll have our happy ending now
taking a chance on love.

2
here i come again;
i’m gonna make things hum again;
acting dumb again – taking a chance on love.
here i stand again;
about to beat the band again;
feeling grand again – taking a chance on love.

i never dreamed in my slumbers
and bets were taboo.
but now i’m playing the numbers,
on a little dream for two.

wading in again;
i’m leading with my chin again;
i’m startin’ out to win again
taking a chance on love.

3
here i slip again;
about to take that tip again;
got my grip again
taking a chance on love.

now i prove again;
that i can make life move again;
in the grove again
taking a chance on love.

i walk around with a horseshoe,
in clover i lie.
and brother rabbit of course you,
better kiss your foot goodbye!

on the ball again;
i’m riding for a fall again;
i’m gonna give my all again
taking a chance on love.
