There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight
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 that 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 music and moonlight
And love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
