Benny Goodman Taking A Chance On Love Lyrics

Taking A Chance On Love Lyrics

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



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.
