Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

The music started and was I the perplexed one

I held my breath and said, "May, I have the next one?"

In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams

Sparkled on a pug nosed dream

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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, when I kiss the pug, pug-nosed dream
