Lyrics:

(Jimmy Van Heusen, Johny Burke) [Recorded May 2, 1961, Los Angeles] [instrumental intro-1:43] 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 pug-nosed 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 pug-nosed dream There were questions in the eyes of other 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'll always see polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss the pug-nosed dream
