How's Chances

Irving Berlin · Songs Of [1994]

When I want to see the boys

I know where to find the boys

I don't go through a club or two

I just find you and there are the boys

To get you alone I strive

You ask me to tea at five

I find you then with other men

And wonder when my chance will arrive



How's chances, say, how are the chances

Of making you love me the way I love you



How many young men must I fight with

To be in right with

In right with you



How's chances for one of those glances

A glimpse of the heaven I'm longing to see



How's chances to end all your romances

And start taking your chances with me



[alternate bridge:]

My castle will need some restoring

Ceiling and flooring

Furniture, too
