Lyrics
“Let’s Face The Music And Dance”
There may be trouble ahead
But if there’s moonlight
And music and love and romance
Let’s face the music and danceBefore 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 danceSoon, we’ll be without the moon
Humming a different tune, and thenThere may be teardrops to shed
But if there’s moonlight
And music and love and romance
Let’s face the music and danceSoon, we’ll be without the moon
Humming a different tune, and thenThere may be teardrops to shed
But if there’s moonlight
and music and love and romance
Let’s face the music and dance
