RUBBER BAND (single version)
- Album: The Deram Antholgy 1966 - 1968
- Lyrics and Music by David Bowie

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 1912 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

Rubber Band
Won't you play a haunting theme again for 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 had joined your Rubber Band
We'd have played in lively 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 your band

Oh yeah...
Woh yeah...
