The Rubberband Man

The Spinners

Hand me down my walkin' cane

Hand me down my hat

Hurry now and don't be late

'Cause we ain't got time to chat.

You and me we're goin' out

To catch the latest sounds

Guaranteed to blow your mind

So high you won't come down.



Cho.

Hey, y'all prepare yourself

For the Rubberband man

You never heard a sound

Like the Rubberband man

You're bound to lose control

When the Rubberband starts to jam.



Oh, Lord this dude is outta sight

Everything he does

seems to come out right.



Once I went to hear them play

At a club outside of town

I was so surprised, I was hypnotized

By the sound this cat's puttin' down.

When this short fat guy

Stretched a band between his toes

Hey, I laughed so hard 'cause the man got down

When he finally reached his goal.



Cho.



Got that rubberband

Up on his toes

Then he wriggled it up

All around his nose.



(Doo doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo)

Guaranteed to blow your mind

(Do doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo)

Playin' all that music, yet keepin' time

(Doo doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo)

Where in the world did he learn that, oh, Lord

(Doo doo doo doo doo)

Lord, help him get away.



Cho.



Doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo

Rubberband man, Rubberband man

How much of this stuff do he think we can stand

So much rhythm, grace and debonair from one man, Lord

And then he had the nerve to wiggle his left toe

To his knee, got the feelin' in his head, y'all

Ah, come on baby.



Cho.



Rubberband man starts to jam

Movin' up and down across the land

Got people all in his ways

Everything about him seems out of place.

Just a movin', just a movin', just a move-move-movin'

Just a Rubberband, Rubberband man

Just a movin', just a movin',just a move-move-movin'

Just a Rubberband, Rubberband m
