Lyrics:

There may be trouble ahead,
But while there's moonlight and music 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 the 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 moonlight and music and love and romance,
Face the music and dance

Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to come up with the bill,
And while we still have got that chance,
Face that 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 moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance
Dance
Let's hear that music,
Look at that music
Why not face the music and dance?
