Polka Dots And Moonbeams

(Johnny Burke/James Van Heusen)

(vocals: Ray Eberle)



A country dance was being held in a garden

I felt bump & heard an, "Oh beg your pardon."

Suddenly I saw polka dots & moonbeams all around a pugnosed dream

The music started & was I the perplexed one

I held my breath & said, "May I have the next one?"

In my frightened arms polka dots & moonbeams sparkled on a pugnosed dream



There were questions in the eyes of other the dancers

As we floated the 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 lilacs & laughter

I know the meaning of the words ever after

And I'll always see polka dots & moonbeams when I kiss the pugnosed dream
