  			F          Dm7            Gm7       C7	 
A country-dance was being held in a garden,  
F        Dm7                Em7          A7 
I felt a bump and heard an 'Oh, beg your pardon'. 
Dm         Bbm    F              Am7  Abm7 
Suddenly I saw,   polka dots and moonbeams 
Gm7          C7        F      D7   Gm7   C7 
All around a pug-nosed dream.	 
 
 
F         Dm7             Gm7       C7 
The music started and was I the perplexed one. 
F         Dm7                   Em7        A7  
I held my breath and said, 'May I have the next one' 
Dm               Bbm   F              Am7  Abm7 
In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams. 
Gm7           C7        F        E7 
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream. 
 
 
           A       Dim2      Bm7           E7 
There were questions, in the eyes of other dancers.  
A             F#m7     Bm7     E7   
As we floated over the floor. 
           A     Dim2        Bm7                E7   
There were questions, but my heart knew all the answers. 
A      D7     Gm7        C7 
And perhaps a few things more. 
 
 
F        Dm7             Gm7        C7   
Now in a cottage made of lilacs and laughter.	 
 
F          Dm7            Em7          A7 
I know the meaning of the words, 'Ever after.' 
 
Dm              Bbm  F              Am7  Abm7  
And I'll always see, polka dots and moonbeams. 
 
Gm7            C7        F        D7 
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream 
 
               
G7             C7        F 	 
When I kiss my pug nosed dream.
