Lyrics

There's mosquitoes 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?
 Say, it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind
 But there seems to be a beat, now I can feel it my feet now
 Listen, here it comes again
 There's a band out on the highway
 They're high steppin' into town
 It's a rainbow full of sound
 It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
 Everybody dancin'
 C'mon children, c'mon children
 Come on, clap your hands
 Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine
 You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord
 The band kept us too 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, Lord
 They're setting us on fire
 Crazy rooster crowin' midnight
 Balls of lightin' roll along
 Old men sing about their dreams
 Women laugh and children scream
 And the band keeps playin' on
 Keep on dancin' through the daylight
 Greet the mornin' air with song
 No one's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone
 Was it ever there at all?
 But they keep on dancin'
 C'mon children, c'mon children, come on, clap your hands
 Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday
 And the corn's a bumper crop
 And the fields are full of dancin'
 Full of singin' and romancin'
 The music never stopped
