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 pugnosed 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 pugnosed dream 

There were questions in the eyes of all the 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 always see polka dots and moonbeams 
When I kiss the pugnosed dream!
