Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's mosquitoes on the river Fish are rising up like birds Been hot for seven weeks now Too hot to even speak now Did you hear what I just heard? Say it might have been a fiddle (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Or it could have been the wind (Ooh, ooh, ooh) But there seems to be a beat now (Ooh) I can feel it my feet now (Ooh, ooh) Listen, here it comes again [Bridge] There's a band out on the highway (Band out on the highway) They're high-stepping into town It's a rainbow full of sound (Rainbow, rainbow full of sound) It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns Everybody's dancing [Refrain] Well, well Come on children, come on children now Comе on and clap your hands [Verse 2] Well, the sun went down in honеy Moon come up in wine Stars were spinning 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 joining hand in hand While the music played the band They're setting us on fire Crazy rooster crowing midnight (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Balls of lightning roll along (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Old men sing about their dreams (Ooh) Women laugh and children scream (Ooh, ooh) And the band keep playing on [Bridge] Keep on dancing through the daylight Greet the morning air with song (The morning air with song, yeah) No one's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone Was it ever there at all? But they kept on dancing [Refrain] Well, well Come on children, come on children now Come on and clap your hands [Outro] Well, the cool breeze come on Tuesday Corn's a bumper crop Fields are full of dancing Full of singing and romancing The music never stopped Never stop, never stop, nah Never stop now Never stop, never stop, nah Never stop now Never stop, never stop, nah Never stop now Never stop, never stop, nah Never stop now [Instrumental Outro]
