The Music Never Stopped

[Verse 1] 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 stepping into town It's a rainbow full of sound It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns Everybody's dancing [Chorus] Come on children, come on children Come on clap your hands [Verse 2] 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 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 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 thru the daylight Greet the morning air with song No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone Was it ever there at all? But they keep on dancing [Chorus] [Outro] 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
