Hurry now and don't be late cause we ain't got time [Bb] for that.
[F] You and me, we're going out, catch the latest sound.
Guaranteed to blow your mind so high you won't come [Ab] down
[Db] Hey [Ab] y'all prepare yourself [Eb] for the rubber band
[Db] Man, you've [Ab] never heard a sound [Eb] like a rubber band
[Db] Man, you're [Ab] bound to lose control [Eb] of your rubber [F] band

[Fm] Everything he does [F] seems to come out right
Once I went to hear [Bb] them play at a club outside the town

[F] When I saw this short fat guy stretch a band between his toes
Hey, I laughed so hard, cause I did not [Ab] know

[Db] Man, you're [Ab] bound to lose control [Eb] of your rubber [F] band
Start your jam
Got [Bb] that rubber [Fm] band up [F] on his toe
And then he [Fm] wriggled it up [F] around his [Eb] nose

Boy, [F] that lover band man's a dude

Moves so quick, Lord, he can [F] make you [Eb] lose [Bb] it
He did his stuff with the [F] showdown
He made a little bit of up, he made a little bit of down
[Bb] [Eb] He got [F] speed from moving
That lover band off the [Eb] ground
He lifted [F] it way up high

So much rhythm, grace, and devil [F] there from one man, Lord

And then he had another quick little [F] left foot
But those knees got feeling in his head, Lord
Oh, come on, [Db] baby
