The Rubberband Man (Complete version originally performed by The Spinners) - Various Artists

Hand me down my walkin' cane

Hand me down my hat

Hurry now and don't be late

'Cause we ain't got time to chat

You and me were goin' out

To catch the latest sound

Guaranteed to blow your mind

So high you won't come down

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 Lord this dude is outta 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 this cat's puttin' down

When I saw this short fat guy

Stretch a band between his toes

Hey I laughed so hard

'Cause the man got down

When he finally reached his goal

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

Up on his toes

And then he wriggled it up

All around his nose

(Doo doo doo)

Guaranteed to blow your mind

(Doo doo doo)

Playin' all that music yet keepin' time

(Doo doo doo)

Where in the world did he learn that oh Lord

Lord help him get away

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 rubber band starts to jam

Doo doo doo

Doo doo doo

Doo doo doo

Rubberband man Rubberband man

How much of this stuff do he think we can stand

So much rhythm grace and debonair from one man Lord

And then he had nerve to wiggle his left toe

To his knee got the feelin' in his head y'all

Ah come on baby

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

Doo doo doo

Doo doo doo

Doo doo doo
