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 dreamThe 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 dreamThere 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 moreNow 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
