A country dance was being held in a garden I felt a bump and heard an oh, beg your pardon Suddenly I saw - polka dots and moonbeams All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started, and was I the perplexed one I held my breathe, and said may I have the next one? In my frightened arms - polka dots and moonbeams Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers As we floated over the floor There were questions but my heart knew all the answers And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage, built of lilacs and laughter I know the meaning, of the words: ever after And I’ll always see polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
