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, ooh)
And here it comes again
There's a band out on the highway
They're high-stepping into town
It's a rainbow full of sound
It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody's dancing
Come on children, come on children
Come on and clap your hands
Well, the sun went down in honey
And the moon came up in wine
And the 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 plays the band
Lord, 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, ooh)
And the band keeps playing on
Keep on dancing 'til the daylight
Drink the morning air with strong
No one's noticed
But the band's all packed and gone
Were they ever here at all?
Everybody's dancing
Come on children, come on children
Come on and clap your hands
Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday
And the corn's a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancing
Full of singing and romancing
The music never stopped
