David Bowie Rubber Band song 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 tune out of tune, oh

Rubber Band

Won't you play your 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 library parks throughout the land

And one Sunday afternoon, I'd 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 she's married to the leader of the band, oh

(spoken)

Oh sob... I hope you break your baton
