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 got a 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

Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to come up with the bill
And while we still got that chance
Let's 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, that lovely music
Let's face the music and dance
