A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and then an "Oh, beg your pardon"
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
Wrapped around a pug-nosed dream
The music started and was I a perplexed one
I held my breath and said may I have the next one
In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Wrapped around 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 full of lilacs and laughter
I learned the meaning of the words ever after
And I'll only see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
