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 breath and said “May I have the next one”
In my frightrnrd 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 made 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
