Rubber Band

David Bowie

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 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 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
