The Music Never Stopped - Live at Field House, Rensselaer Polytechni Institute - 5/7/1978

[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 (Ooh, ooh)
Or it could have been the wind (Ooh, ooh)
But there seems to be a beat now, I can feel it my feet now
Listen here it comes again!

[Bridge]
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]
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
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 (Ooh, ooh)
Balls of lighting roll along (Ooh, ooh)
Old men sing about their dreams
Women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playing on

[Bridge]
Keep on dancing through the daylight
Greet the morning air with song
No ones's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone
Was it ever there at all?
But they kept on dancing

[Chorus]
Come on children, come on children
Come on clap your hands

[Verse 3]
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
