Rubber Band Lyrics

Rubber band

 There's a rubber band that plays tunes out of tune

 In the library garden Sunday afternoon

 While a little chappie waves a golden wand

 

 Rubber band

 In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong

 My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long

 

 And I loved a girl while you played teatime tunes

 

 Dear Rubber band, you're playing my tunes out of tune, oh

 

 Rubber band, Won't you play a haunting theme again to me

 

 While I eat my scones and drink my cup 

 of tea

 

 The sun is warm but it's a lonely afternoon

 Oh, play that theme

 

 Rubber band

 How I wish that I could join your Rubber band

 We could play in lively parks throughout the land

 And one Sunday afternoon I'd find my love

 

 Rubber band

 In '14-'18 war I went to sea 

 Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me

 

 And now she's married to the leader of the band, oh

 [spoken]

 Oh sob: I hope you break your baton
