Sing with the chorus

  • Take a chance on me
  • (That's all I ask of you honey)
  • Take a chance on me
  • We can go dancing (oh-oh) we can go walking (yeah)

Echo the hook

  • Ba-ba-ba-ba-baa, ba-ba-ba-ba-baa
  • Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me

  • Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me
