D Em7 A7 D F#m G G/F# A7/13 A7
A country dance was being held in a garden
D Em7 A7 D B7 G G/F# F#7
I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon."
Bm Bm7 D D9 D F#7 B7
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
Em7 G A7 A7/9 D Fdim A7 A7/13-
All around a pug-nosed dream.
D Em7 A7 D F#m G G/F# A7/13 A7
The music started, and was I the perplexed one;
D Em7 A7 D B7 G G/F# F#7
I held my breath, and said "May I have the next one"
Bm Bm7 D D9 D F#7 B7
In my frightened arms polka dots and moonbeams
Em7 G A7 A7/9 D G#m7 C#7
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream.
Bridge
F# Ebm7 G#m7 C#7
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
F# Ebm7 G#m7 C#
As we floated over the floor;
F# Ebm7 G#m7 C#
There were questions, but my heart knew all the answers
F# B7 Em7 A7
And perhaps a few things more.
D Em7 A7 D F#m G G/F# A7/13 A7
Now in a cottage, built of lilacs and laughter
D Em7 A7 D B7 G G/F# F#7
I know the meaning of the words: "ever after"
Bm Bm7 D D9 D F#7 B7
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
Em7 G A7 A7/9 D
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream.
