There may be trouble ahead 
But while there's music and moonlight 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 
Let's face the music and dance
