Lyrics[]
- 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 your 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 library 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
- Oh sob, I hope you break your baton
