People joining hand in hand
It's been hot for seven weeks now
Say, it might have been a fiddle
And the fields are full of dancing
Like Jehovah's favorite choir
Old men sing about their dreams
They're high-stepping into town
Listen, here it comes again
Lord, the band kept us so busy
All pack and gone, was it ever here at all?
But they keep on dancing
Sun went down in honey
Balls of lighting roll along
Keep on dancing through to daylight
And the band keeps playing on
No one's noticed but the band's
I can feel it my feet now
Lord, they're setting us on fire
Come on, clap your hands
It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Come on children, come on children
But there seems to be a beat now
You know stars were spinning dizzy
Or it could have been the wind
We forgot about the time
Come on children, come on children
Crazy rooster crowing midnight
Full of singing and romancing
There's a band out on the highway
Well, the cool breeze came on Tuesday
Greet the morning air with song
And the corn's a bumper crop
While the music plays the band
Did you hear what I just heard?
Everybody's dancing
And the moon came up in wine
They're a band beyond description
Come on, clap your hands
Too hot to even speak now
It's a rainbow full of sound
Women laugh and children scream
