The Music Never Stopped Live at Raceway Park in Englishtown New Jersey September 3 1977
[Verse 1]
There's mosquitoes on the river
Fish are rising up like birds
And it's been hot for seven weeks now
Too hot to even speak now
Did you hear what I just heard?
It might have been a fiddle (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Or it could have been the wind (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But there seems to be a beat now (Ooh)
I can feel it my feet now (Ooh, ooh)
Listen, here it comes again

[Pre-Chorus]
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 and clap your hands
[Verse 2]
Well, the sun wеnt down in honey
And the moon came up in winе
And stars were spinning dizzy
Lord, the band kept us so 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 plays the band
Lord, they're setting us on fire
Crazy rooster crowing midnight (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Balls of lighting roll along (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Old men sing about their dream (Ooh)
Women laugh and children scream (Ooh, ooh)
And the band keeps playing on

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on dancing through the daylight
And greet the morning air with song
No ones's noticed but the band's all packed and gone
Were they ever here at all? (Were they ever here at all?)
But they kept on dancing

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

[Instrumental]
