Let's Face the Music and Dance
Fred Astaire
Words and music by Irving Berlin.
Introduced by Fred Astaire, and danced to by Astaire and Ginger Rogers
in the motion picture "Follow the Fleet."
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 that 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 music and moonlight,
And love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance.
