Theodore "Ted" Fetter (ca. 1907 - March 13, 1996) was a Broadway lyricist who contributed material to such revues as "THE SHOW IS ON" (1936) and "BILLY ROSE'S AQUACADE" (1939), but is best remembered for co-writing the song "TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE," introduced in the 1940 musical comedy CABIN IN THE SKY. Fetter started as an actor, appearing in the 1928 revival of PETER PAN and in Cole Porter's 1935 musical comedy, JUBILEE. Fetter was Porter's first cousin and later wrote additional lyrics for some of Porter's songs. Beginning in 1936, he wrote lyrics for a number of revues, melodramas and burlesques in collaboration with composers, Richard Lewine, Hoagy Carmichael and Vernon Duke.
