Theres mosquitoes on the river
Fish are rising up like birds
Its 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!
Theres a band out on the highway
Theyre high stepping into town
Its a rainbow full of sound
Its fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybodys dancing
Come on children, come on children
Come on clap your hands
Well, the sun went down in honey
And the moon came up in wine
You know stars were spinning dizzy
Lord, the band kept us too busy, we forgot about the time
Theyre a band beyond description
Like Jehovahs favorite choir
People joining hand in hand
While the music played the band
Lord, theyre setting us on fire
Crazy rooster crowing midnight 
Balls of lighting roll along 
Old men sing about their dreams
Women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playing on
Keep on dancing through the daylight
Greet the morning air with song
No oness noticed, but the bands all packed and gone
Was it ever there at all?
But they kept on dancing
Come on children, come on children
Come on clap your hands
Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday
And the corns a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancing
Full of singing and romancing
The music never stopped
