Polka Dots And Moonbeams Lyrics - Lester Young

A country 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, polka dots and moonbeams 

Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream 

There were questions in the eyes of other dancers 

As we floated 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 and laughter 

I know the meaning of the words "Ever after" 

And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams 

When I kiss the pug-nosed dream
