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 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 the pug-nosed dream
