Rubber Band Lyrics

[00:09.81] Rubber Band
[00:11.77] There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune
[00:15.61] In the library garden sunday afternoon
[00:19.26] While a little chappie waves a golden wand
[00:25.08] Rubber Band
[00:26.99] In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong
[00:30.57] My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long
[00:34.30] And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes
[00:40.44] Dear Rubber Band, you're playing my tune out of tune, oh
[00:47.67]
[00:51.81] Rubber Band
[00:53.81] Won't you play your haunting theme again to me?
[00:57.58] While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea
[01:01.20] The sun is warm but it's a lonely afternoon
[01:05.13]
[01:11.96] Oh, play that theme
[01:14.03]
[01:22.25] Rubber Band
[01:24.15] How I wish that I could join your Rubber Band
[01:28.05] We could play in library parks throughout the land
[01:31.98] And one sunday afternoon, I'd find my love
[01:37.62] Rubber Band
[01:39.82] In the '14-'18 war I went to sea
[01:43.43] Thought my sunday love was waiting home for me
[01:47.28] And now she's married to the leader of your band, oh
[01:52.63]
[02:04.33] I hope you break your baton
[02:06.50]

From the album: The Deram Anthology (1966 - 1968)
