Taking a Chance on Love   Benny Goodman (#1 in 1937, #1 in 1943)

Here I go again, I hear the whistle 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 that 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
Taking a Chance On Love


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 leadin' with my chin again.
I'm starting out to win again, Taking a Chance on Love.


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 groove 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
