While the Music is Playing

[Verse 1]
People gather all around the square
Hear the laughing in the evening air
Swirl, and mingle with the songs that brought us there
Brought us all there

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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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's got the radio on
Golden oldies and we're singing along
Dancing on the sidewalk to those drifter's songs, marvelous songs

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
'Round the campfire, faces glow
The Gonzales brothers came here so
We're singing all of the songs that everyone knows, everyone knows

[Chorus]
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
