While the Music Is Playing

People gather all around the square
Hear the laughing in the evening air
Swirl, mingle with the songs that brought us there
Brought us all there

Everybody spread their lawn chairs around
Out on the grass and the stars shine down
Carl King's big brass band plays that circus sound
The circus sound

And I don't wanna go home
Can we stay right here for a couple more songs?
I don't wanna go home while the music is playing
Oh, while it's playing

Every summer when the corn is high
There's a weekend when the streets are lined
With hot rod cars driven in from another time
Another time

And every car has got the radio on
Golden oldies and we're singing along
Dancing on the sidewalk to those Drifters songs
And Marvelettes songs

And I don't wanna go home
Can we stay right here for a couple more songs?
I don't wanna go home while the music is playing
Oh, while it's playing

Around the campfire, faces glow
The Gonzalez Brothers came here so
We're singing all of the songs that everyone knows
Everyone knows

And I don't wanna go home
Can we stay right here for just a couple more songs?
I don't wanna go home while the music is playing
Oh, while it's playing

And I don't wanna go home
Can we stay right here for a couple more songs?
I don't wanna go home while the music is playing
Oh, while it's playing

I don't wanna go home
Can we stay right here for a couple more songs?
I don't wanna go home while the music is playing
Oh, while it's playing
