Let's Face The Music And Dance

(Irving Berlin)



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 tune

And then...



There may be teardrops to shed,

So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,

Face the music and dance



*orchestral interlude*



Before the fiddlers have fled

Before they ask us to come up with the bill,

And while we still have got that chance,

Face that 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

Dance

Let's face the music,

Look at that music

Why not face the music and dance?
