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 a 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 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 the band, oh



Oh yeah... i hope you break your baton
