Rubber Band
Theres 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, youre playing my tune out of tune, oh
Rubber Band
Wont you play your haunting theme again to me?
While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea
The sun is warm but its a lonely afternoon
Oh, play that theme
Rubber Band
How I wish that I could join your Rubber Band
We could play in library parks throughout the land
And one Sunday afternoon, Id find my love
Rubber Band
In the 14-18 war I went to sea
Thought my Sunday love was waiting home for me
And now shes married to the leader of the band, oh
Spoken
Oh sob… I hope you break your baton
