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
