Verse 1:
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
A country dance was being held in a garden
F Dm7 Em7-5 A7
I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon"
Dm Bbm F Am7 Abm7
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
Gm7 C7 F C7
All around a pug-nosed dream
Verse 2:
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
The music started and was I the perplexed one
F Dm7 Em7-5 A7
I held my breath and said "May I have the next one?"
Dm Bbm F Am7 Abm7
In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Gm7 C7 F C7
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
Bridge:
A A#dim Bm7 E7
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
A F#m7 Bm7 E7
As we floated over the floor
A A#dim Bm7 E7
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
A7 D7 Gm7 C7
And perhaps a few things more
Verse 3:
F Dm7 Gm7 C7
Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter
F Dm7 Em7-5 A7
I know the meaning of the words "Ever after"
Dm Bbm F Am7 Abm7
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
Gm7 C7 F
When I kiss the pug-nosed dream
