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 the chance,
Let's face the music and dance

Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different toon,
And then, there may be tear drops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance
Let's face the music and dance,

(musical break)

Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different toon,
And then, there may be tear drops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance,
Let's face the music and dance
