    Polka Dots

Lyrics by Burke/Van Heusden   

 

POLKA DOTS AND MOONBEAMS

 

A polka 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

Those polka dots and moonbeams

Sparkled round a pug-nosed dream

 

There were questions in the eyes of other dancers

As we crowded 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 lilac and laughter

I know the meaning of the words ever after

And I’ll always see

Those polka dots and moonbeams

When I kiss my pug-nosed dream

When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
