There may be trouble ahead

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

Hummin' a different tune, and then



There may be teardrops to shed

But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance

Face the music and dance



Soon we'll be without the moon

Hummin' a different tune, and then, and then



There may be teardrops to shed

But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance

Let's face the music and dance, dance

Let's face the music

Come on feel the music

Why not face the music and dance
