  • 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 mustache 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
    Wont you play a haunting theme again to me
    While I eat my scones and drink my cup of tea
    The sun is warm but its 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, Id 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 shes married to the leader of the band, oh

    Oh yeah, I hope you break your baton Writer/s: DAVID BOWIE
