Tekst
Hand me down my walking 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 going out
To catch the latest sound
Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high you won't come down, oh
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 boy, this dude is out of 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 these cats put down
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, oh
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
Got that rubberband, uh
Up on his toes
And then he wiggled it up
Up around his nose
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Playing all that music, yes, keeping time
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Where in the world did he learn that?
Oh Lord, huh
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Oh, help me get away
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man (For the rubberband man)
You never heard a sound like the
Rubberband man (Never heard a sound, no)
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Rubberband man, rubberband man
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Uh, watch him, he can move it, just move it
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Got him groovin', oh, he's coolin'
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
He's burning up, y'all
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man (Oh, he's my man)
You never heard a sound like the
Rubberband man (Never heard a sound, no)
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam
Ya ya ya ya
Oh, that rubberband man's a doozy
Moves so quick, Lord, he'll make you woozy
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
And then he starts to show it out
He wiggled it up, he wiggled it down, uh
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Got his feet to movin' to
Took that rubber band off the ground, uh
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
He lifted it way up high, at the sky, y'all
And then he
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Oh, get with it, y'all
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man (For the rubberband man)
You never heard a sound like the
Rubberband man (What you say? Oh, whoa)
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts to jam
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
A rubberband man, uh
How much of this stuff do we think we can stand, uh, huh
So much rhythm, grace and debonair from one man, Lord
And then he had to go to twiddle his left toe
That goes with me, got a feeling in his head, y'all
Oh, come on, baby
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband
Man (Won't you prepare yourself to hear it? Oh)
You never heard a sound like the rubberband
Man (Never heard a sound, oh, he's my man)
You're bound to lose control when the
Rubberband starts to jam (And he likes to jam)
Rubberband man starts to jam, uh
Movin' up and down across the land, uh
Got a wiggle all in his waist, uh
Everything about him seems out of place
But move it, just move it, just move, move, move it, just
A rubberband, rubberband man
Just move it, just move it, just move, move, move it, just
A rubberband, rubberband man
Get down

Aha
Oh, he can jam, y'all
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man (Oh, for the rubberband man)
You never heard a sound like the rubberband man
You never heard a sound, you never felt a sound)
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband
Starts to jam (Should you see him move)
Ooh-wee
What's he doin' to me?
Rhythms I ain't felt before
Just movin' up and down me
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Gotta move, I gotta groove
With the rubberband man, whoa-whoa-whoa
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
Ya ya ya
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
The way he twiddles his toes
With the band 'round his nose
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
How does he do it, y'all?
I don't know
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man (I prepare myself, y'all)
You never heard a sound like the rubberband
Man (Can't see his show, oh, I paid my money)
You're bound to lose control when the rubberband starts
To jam (Glocks all in his hat, that's when he wiggles it)
