David Bowie - 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
