There may be trouble ahead
But while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled,
Before they ask us to pay the bill,
And while we still have that chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different tune — and then…
There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different tune — and then…and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance, dance
Let's face the music and dance
