D Em7 A7   D        F#m    G  G/F#  A7/13 A7 
A country dance was being held in a garden 
D Em7  A7  D        B7       G   G/F#      F#7 
I felt a  bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon." 
Bm         Bm7 D   D9    D       F#7    B7 
Suddenly I saw polka    dots and moonbeams 
Em7   G      A7  A7/9    D   Fdim  A7  A7/13- 
All around a pug-nosed dream. 
 D  Em7 A7   D      F#m     G G/F#    A7/13  A7 
The music  started, and was I the perplexed one; 
D Em7  A7  D            B7       G  G/F#     F#7 
I held my breath, and said "May I have the next one" 
Bm               Bm7   D   D9    D      F#7     B7 
In my frightened arms polka    dots and moonbeams 
Em7      G    A7  A7/9    D    G#m7  C#7 
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream. 
Bridge 
           F#        Ebm7    G#m7          C#7 
There were questions  in the eyes of other dancers 
      F#     Ebm7         G#m7      C# 
As we floated    over the floor; 
            F#        Ebm7   G#m7               C# 
There were questions, but my heart knew all the answers 
F#     B7     Em7         A7 
And perhaps a few things more. 
D  Em7 A7  D       F#m      G G/F#     A7/13 A7 
Now in a  cottage, built of lilacs and laughter 
D Em7  A7  D       B7       G    G/F#  F#7 
I know the meaning of the words: "ever after" 
Bm              Bm7  D   D9 D       F#7     B7 
And I'll always see polka  dots and moonbeams 
Em7     G       A7  A7/9    D 
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream.
