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
