TAKE A CHANCE 'N' DANCE
(August Johnson)
Come on Yall [8 times]
1st Verse:
Get off the wall and take a chance
I thought you came here just to dance
and meet someone you could get down
with all the time
But you just stand there in the hall
taking advantage of the wall
Come on out here we guarantee nothing to fear
I know you've waited all day long,
Talking this and that on the telephone,
About what'cha gonna do when you
get down to the discoteque,
Hey Dance, take a chance 'n' dance
Hey Dance, take a chance 'n' dance
Chorus:
You wanna take a chance 'n' dance
If you want a little romance
Take a chance 'n' dance
Everybody say mee maw
Make him dance (4 times)
2nd Verse:
You've come too far to turn around'
When all it is is getting down
Hey Boy don'tcha wanna dance with me?
Here's your chance to show us all
You can stand up without a wall
Hey come on and do what you gotta do
2nd Chorus:
Take a chance 'n' dance
If you want a little romance all the time
Get it out of your mind
You gotta take a chance 'n' dance, dance, dance
Everybody say mee maw
Take a chance, Take a chance and dance
Take a chance 'n' dance
