Lyrics

There's mosquitos on the river
Fish are rising up like birds
It's been hot for seven weeks now
Too hot to even speak now
Did you hear what I just heard

Said it might've been a fiddle
Or it could've been the wind
Well, there seems to be a beat now
I can feel it in my feet now
Listen, here it comes again

There's a band out on the highway
They're highstepping into town
It's a rainbow full of sound
And it's fireworks, calliopes, and clowns
Everybody's dancing

Well, well
C'mon children
C'mon children
C'mon and clap your hands

Well, the sun went down in honey
The moon came up in wine
The stars were spinnin dizzy
Lord, the band kept us so busy
We forgot about the time

They're a band beyond description
Like Jehovah's favorite choir
People joinin hand in hand
While the music plays the band
Well they're settin us on fire

Crazy rooster crowin midnight
Balls of lightnin roll along
Old men sing about their dreams
Women laugh and children scream
And the band keep playin on

Keep on dancin through to daylight
Greet the morning air with song
No one's noticed but the bands all pal agn gone
were they everhere atlall
and they kept on dancin

Well, well
C'mon children
C'mon children
C'mon and clap your hands

Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday
The corn's a bumper crop
The fields are full of dancin
For the singin and romancin
But the music never stopped

Never stop, never stop, no, no...
