lyrics

Waking up late and
I have nothing to do
washing up the Firebird
so it will be cool

David Lee telling me
I might as well Jump
Picking up my crew and
Eddie is in the front

Chorus:

C'mon Take a chance
Summer love won't last
you know the night moves fast
C'mon Take a Chance
Summer love won't last

Verse 2:

Driving down Paradise
to the Corner Store
Beers for the party
Thinking we would score

Jean shorts Jenny and
Take a Walk Wendy
Diane with the plan
and sweet sweet Randi

C'mon Take a chance
Summer love won't last
you know the night moves fast
C'mon Take a Chance
Summer love won't last

Bridge:

Jean shorts Jenny
invite all of your friends
To the water tower
where the dancing never ends
Jean Shorts Jenny
smiling in the light
Tell me tell me Jenny
Do you feel it in the night

C'mon Take a chance
Summer love won't last
you know the night moves fast
C'mon Take a Chance
Summer love won't last

All you crazy people
Dancing to and fro
Tell me are you with me
Are you ready to go

C'mon Take a chance
Summer love won't last
you know the night moves fast
C'mon Take a Chance
Summer love won't last
