歌词
[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 sounds
Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high, you won't come down
[Chorus]
Oh, hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man
You never heard a sound like the
Rubberband man (Man)
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Refrain]
Oh, Lord, 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 band got down
When he finally reached his goal
Whoa-oh
[Chorus]
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man (Whoa)
You never heard a sound like the
Rubberband man (Man)
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Refrain]
Got that rubberband
Up on his toes
And then he wriggled it up
All around his nose
[Refrain]
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Guaranteed to blow your mind)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Playin' all that music, yes, keepin' time)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Where in the world did he learn that? Oh, Lord, huh)
A rubberband, yeah, he's the man
Do-do
Do-do-do, do-do
Lord, help me get away
[Chorus]
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man (Rubberband man)
You never heard a sound like the
Rubberband man (Whoa)
You're bound to lose control (Bound to lose control)
When the rubberband starts to jam
The rubberband man, rubberband man
[Refrain]
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Do, do, do, do, do)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Ugh, I want you to keep it movin', just movin')
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Ugh, gotta groove it)
A rubberband, do-do, yeah, he's the man (On the corner, it's quite enough, y'all)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do (Whoa-oh)
[Chorus]
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man (Aw, he's my man)
You never heard a sound like the (Never heard a sound)
Rubberband man (No)
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Refrain]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa, that rubberband man's a doozy
Move so quick, Lord, he'll make you woozy
[Refrain]
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (And then he stuck his shoulder out, he wiggle it up, he wiggle it down, ugh)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Got his feet to movin', then took that rubberband off the ground, ugh)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (He lifted it way up high)
A rubberband, do-do, yeah, he's the man (Huh, at the sky, y'all, and then he)
Do-do-do, do-do (Oh, get with it y'all)
[Chorus]
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man
You never heard a sound like the (What'cha say?)
Rubberband man (Oh, whoa)
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Refrain]
A rubberband man, aw
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (How much of this stuff do he think we can stand? Ugh, huh)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (So much rhythm, grace, and debonair from one man, Lord)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (And then he had the nerve to twiddle his left toe)
A rubberband, do-do, yeah, he's the man (Until his knee, got the feelin' in his head y'all)
Do-do-do, do-do (Aw, come on, baby)
[Chorus]
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the (Won't you try yourself)
Rubberband man (You hear me? Oh)
You never heard a sound like the (Never heard a sound)
Rubberband man (Oh, he's my man)
You're bound to lose control (And he likes to jam)
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Refrain]
Rubberband man starts to jam
Movin' up and down, across the land
Got people all in his ways
Everything about him seems out of place
[Refrain]
(With a movin', just a movin', just a move, move, movin') Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do
Just a rubberband, rubberband man
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Just a movin', just a movin', just a move, move, movin')
Just a rubberband, rubberband man
Get down
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Oh, get down, lover)
A rubberband, do-do, yeah, he's the man (Ha, ha)
Do-do-do, do-do (Oh, he can jam, y'all)
[Chorus]
Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for the (Oh)
Rubberband man (For the rubberband man)
You never heard a sound like the (You never heard the sound)
Rubberband man (You never felt the groove)
You're bound to lose control (Until you see him move)
When the rubberband starts to jam
[Refrain]
Ooh, wee
What's he doin' to me?
Rhythms I ain't felt before
Just movin' up and down me
[Refrain]
(Gotta move, I gotta groove) Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do
Just a rubberband man, oh whoa-whoa
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (I, I, ah, ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (The way he twiddles his toes)
A rubberband, do-do, yeah, he's my man (With the band around his nose, he's beautiful)
Do-do-do, do-do (Oh, how does he do it, y'all?)
[Chorus]
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the (I don't know)
Rubberband man (I've been a band myself, y'all)
You never heard a sound like the (Came to see his show)
Rubberband man (Whoa, I paid my money)
You're bound to lose control (Drops a coin in his hat)
When the rubberband starts to jam (And I swear, he winked, ugh)
[Refrain]
I'm ready, get down
Gonna do my rubberband
I'm ready, gon' jam
I gotta do my rubberband
[Refrain]
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Twang-a, twang-a, twang-a, twang-a, twang)
Ooh, Lord, have mercy
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Twang-a, twang-a, twang-a, twang-a, twang, uh, just strike me in my bones)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Twang-a, twang-a, twang-a, twang-a, twang)
A rubberband, yeah, my man (It makes 'em move, y'all, I kinda groove when I hit)
Do-do-do, do-do (I'm not lyin', now)
[Chorus]
Hey y'all, prepare yourself for the
Rubberband man (Whoa, you gotta believe me)
You never heard a sound like the (He's the famous cat)
Rubberband man (Moves and grooves it)
You're bound to lose control (Real slinky)
When the rubberband starts to jam (Oh)
[Refrain]
He's a fit fat man that moves real good
Everybody gonna knock on wood
When you see the man do his stuff
Uh, Lord, I done seen enough
[Outro]
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Oh, Jesus, movin' his shoulders, uh, got his head movin' side-to-side, huh)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do (Ah, dig him crimpin' with a bowl on pots, c'mon)
Do-do, do-do-do, do-do, do-do
A rubberband, yeah, my man (Oh, well he the man, rubberband man)
Do-do, do, do-do
