The Rubberband Man lyrics

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 sound.

Guaranteed to blow your mind

So high you won't come down.

Hey ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband-man.

You've never heard a sound

Like the rubberband-man.

You're bound to lose control

When the rubberband starts to jam.

Oh boy, 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 put down.

When I saw this short fat guy

Stretch a band between his toes.

Hey, I laughed so hard

'Cause the man got down

When he finally reached his goal.

Hey ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband-man.

You've never heard a sound

Like the rubberband-man.

You're bound to lose control

When the rubberband starts to jam.

Got that rubber band

Up on his toes.

And then he wriggled it up

All around his nose.

Guaranteed to blow your mind

Playin' all that music, yet keepin' time.

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

Lord, help him get away.

Hey ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband-man.

You've never heard a sound

Like the rubberband-man.

You're bound to lose control

When the rubberband starts to jam.

Rubberband man, rubberband man.

How much of this stuff do he think we can stand?

So much rhythm, grace, and debonair for one man.

And then he had the nerve to wiggle his left toe

Went to his knee, got the feelin' in his head, y'all.

Oh, come on baby,

Hey ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband-man.

You've never heard a sound

Like the rubberband-man.

You're bound to lose control

When the rubberband starts to jam.

Rubberband man starts to jam

Moving up and down 'cross the land

Got the people all in his wake

Everything probably seems outta place

Just move it, just move, move, move it, just

Rubberband, rubberband man.

Just move it, just move, move, move it, just

Rubberband, rubberband man

Get down, oh, get down low.
