There may be trouble ahead.
But while there's music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance.
Be fore 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 diff'rent tune, and then
There may be teardrops to shed.
So while there's music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance.
