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 (woo-woo- woo)
Or it could have been the wind (woo-woo-woo)
But there seems to be a beat now (woo-woo-woo)
I can feel it in my feet now (woo-woo-woo)
Listen, here it comes again
There's a band out on the highway (there are on the highway)
They're high-stepping into town (oh, they're dancing into town)
It's a rainbow full of sound
And 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 spinnin' dizzy
Lord, the band kept us so busy
We forgot about the time (about the time)
They're a band beyond description
Like Jonah'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 (woo-woo-woo)
Balls of lightning roll along (woo-woo-woo)
Old men sing about their dreams (woo-woo)
Women laugh and children scream (woo-woo)
And the band keeps playing on
Kept on dancing through the daylight (kept on dancing through the daylight)
And with the morning air the sun (with the morning air the sun, yo)
No one's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone
Was it ever here at all? (Was it ever here at all?)
They kept on dancing
Come on children, come on children
Now, 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 dancing
People singing and romancing
The music never stopped
