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
