RUBBERBAND MAN
(Linda Creed / Thom Bell)
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
Catch the latest sounds
Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high you won´t come down, oh

(Hey y´all 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)

Aah-ah...this dude is outta site! uh!
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 those cats put down oh
When I saw this short fat guy stretch a band between his toes
Hey, I laughed so hard ´cause the band got down
When it finally reached his nose, whoa-oh

Chorus:
(Hey ya´all prepare yourself for the rubberband)
Whoa-oh (man, you never heard a sound like the rubberband)
Man (you´re ´bout to lose control when the rubberband
starts to jam)

Got that rubberband, uh! upon his toe
And then he wriggle it up, all around his nose
(Do do do do do do do do do)
Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Do do do do do do do do do)
Playin´ all that music yet keepin´ time
(Do do do do do do do do do)
How in the world did he learn that? oh lord, huh!
(Do do do do do)

Hurry up get away!

(Hey ya´all prepare yourself for the) rubberband man (man)
(You never heard a sound like the rubberband) whoa (man)
(You´re bound) well (to lose control) lose control
(when the rubberband man starts to jam)

Jut-jut-jut-uh jut-jut-jut-jut-jut-juta
Jut-jut-jut-jut-juta uh!
Rubberband man, rubberband man uh!
(Do do do do do do do do do)
How much of this stuff do he think we can stand, uh-huh!
(Do do do do do do do do do)
So much rhythm grace and debonair from one man? lord
(Do do do do do do do do do)
And then he had the nerve to twiggle his left toe
(Do do do do do do do do do)
Got to his knee got the feelin´ in his head, y´all
(Do do do do do)
Ah, c´mon baby

(Hey ya´all prepare yourself)
Won´t you prepare your self, you hear me?
(Yeah, you never heard a sound)
Never heard a sound (rubberband)
Oh (man) he´s my man
(He´s about to lose control) and he likes to jam
(When the rubberband starts to jam)

Rubberband man he starts to jam uh!
Movin´ up and down ´cross the land uh!
Got paper all in his waist
Everything about him seems out of place but
(Do do do do do do do do do)
Just-a movin´ just-a movin´ just-a mov-mov-movin´ just-a
A rubberband, rubberband man
(Do do do do do do do do do)
