Polka Dots and Moonbeams - Frankie Masters and His Orchestra (1940)

"Polka Dots and Moonbeams"

Frankie Masters & His Orchestra

Vocalion 5480

Song by Johnny Burke & Jimmy Van Heusen

A country dance was being held in the garden
I felt a bump and heard an "I beg your pardon"
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream

The music started and was I the perplexed one
I held my breath and said "May I have the next one?"
In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream

There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more

Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning of the words "ever after"
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss a pug-nosed dream
