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



Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the rubberband (rubberband) man

You've 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

Seem 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 (rubberband) man

You've never heard a sound

Like the rubberband (rubberband) man

You're bound to lose control

When the rubberband starts to jam



Got that rubber band

Up on his toes

And then he wriggled it up

All around his nose



Doo-doo-doo-doo

Guaranteed to blow your mind

Doo-doo-doo-doo

Playin' all that music, yet keepin' time

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've never heard a sound

Like the rubberband man

You're bound to lose control

When the rubberband starts to jam



Rubberband man, rubberband man

How much of this stuff do he think we can stand?

I don't know



So much rhythm, grace, and debonair for one man, 

Lord, and then he had the nerve to wiggle his left toe

Slip it through his knee, got the feeling in his head, y'all

Aw, come on, baby



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



Rubberband man starts to jam

Moving up and down cross the land

Got the people all in his wake

Everything probably seems outta place



Just move it, just move it

Just move, move, move it

Just, rubberband, rubberband man

Just move it, just move it

Just move, move, move it

Just, rubberband, rubberband man

Get down

Oh, get down low

Ah ha
