[Verse 1]
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, we're goin' out
To catch the latest sound
Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high you won't come down
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Post-Chorus 1]
Oh, this dude is outta sight
Everything he does
Seems to come out right
[Verse 2]
Once I went to hear them play
At a club outside of town
I was so surprised, I was hypnotized
By the sound these cats put 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 it finally reached his nose
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Post-Chorus 2]
Got that rubber band, uh
Up on his toes
And then he wriggled it up
All around his nose
[Verse 2]
(Du du du du du du du du)
Guaranteed to blow your mind
(Du du du du du du du du)
Playin' all that music, yet keepin' time
(Du du du du du du du du)
Where in the world did he learn that, oh, Lord
(Du du du du du)
Lord, help him get away
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Bridge]
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, uh
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, uh
Rubberband man, rubberband man, uh
(Du du du du du du du du)
Du du du du
(Du du du du du du du du)
Watch him, keep movin', just movin'
Got em groovin' on the corner, it's burnin' up, y'all
(Du du du du du du du du)
Ohooohooohhh
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Verse 3]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Boy that Rubberband man's a doozy
Move so quick, uh, he make me woozy
(Du du du du du du du du)
And then he stopped to show down
He wiggle it up, he wiggle it down, uh
(Du du du du du du du du)
Got speed to move it
Get rubberband off the ground, uh
(Du du du du du du du du)
He lifted it well high
In the sky, y'all
And then he
Du du du du du
Oh, get with it, y'all
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Verse 4]
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, uh
Turn it up, turn it up
Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, uh
Rubberband man, rubberband man, uh
(Du du du du du du du du)
How much of this stuff do he think we can stand, uh, huh?
(Du du du du du du du du)
So much rhythm, grace, and debonair for one man, Lord
(Du du du du du du du du)
And then he had the nerve to twiggle his left toe
Slip it through his knee, got the feeling in his head, y'all
(Du du du du du)
Aw, come on, baby
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself (won't you prepare yourself, hear me) for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound (never heard a sound)
Like the rubberband man (Aw, he's the man)
You're bound to lose control (and he likes to jam)
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Post-Chorus 3]
Rubberband man starts to jam
Moving up and down cross the land
Got the people all in his wake
Everything probably seems outta place
[Bridge]
Just move it, just move it
(Du du du du du du du du)
Just move, move, move it
Just, rubberband, rubberband man
Just move it, just move it
(Du du du du du du du du)
Just move, move, move it
Just, rubberband, rubberband man
Get down
(Du du du du du du du du)
Oh, get down low
Ah ha
(Du du du du du du du du)
Oh, he can jam, y'all
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound (never heard a sound)
Like the rubberband man (never felt the groove)
You're bound to lose control (take a seat and move)
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Verse 5]
Ohwee
What's he doin' to me?
Rhythms I ain't felt before
Just groovin' up loudly
Gotta move, I gotta groove
Rubberband man
(Du du du du du du du du)
Achoo, achoo, achoo
(Du du du du du du du du)
The way he twiddles his toes with the band
How did he do it, y'all?
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, (I don't know) prepare yourself for the rubberband man (Aw, prepare yourself, y'all)
You've never heard a sound (Can see his show)
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control (Throwing his hat)
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Outro]
Ready to jam
Do my Rubberband
Ready to jam
I gotta do my Rubberband
(Du du du du du du du du)
A-twang, a-twang, a-twang, a-twang
Lord, have mercy
(Du du du du du du du du)
A-twang, a-twang, a-twang, a-twang
Just strike me in my bones
A-twang, a-twang, a-twang, a-twang
Maked a move, y'all
I kinda groove when I did
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband man (ya gotta believe me)
You've never heard a sound (He's a [?] cat )
Like the rubberband man (he moves and grooves)
You're bound to lose control ([?])
When the rubberband starts to jam
He's a big fat man that moves me good
Everybody oughta knock on wood
When you see the man do his stuff
I done see enough
(Du du du du du du du du)
Movin' his shoulders
Got his head movin' side to side
(Du du du du du du du du)
Dig him crimpin' with a [?]
(Du du du du du du du du)
Oh, he's the man, rubberband man
(Du du du du du)
