Rubber Band

(álbum: Dream A Little Dream - 1968)

I've been all alone
On my own, not so groovy
It was rather cold
Getting old, nothing moved me around
And now the ground has shifted
Beneath my feet, something sweet
Is pouring through me
I perceive the proper choice
My own voice is singing to me

I'm gonna join the rubber band
Through the land, go parading
I'll join in a hearty yell
Hearts will swell, serenading
We tango, oh no
Too slow

If you're sinking in the bog
And the smog is creeping round you
Join our band of happy noise
Melodies will soon surround you (Hurray)
You'll wanna play and dance and sing aloud
It's a happy crowd, dispensing laughter
Bold enough to pave the way
To a brighter day coming after

So give three cheers for the rubber band (Hip-hip-hooray)
Through the land, parachuting
I'll join in a hearty yell
Hearts will swell, root-toot-tooting
We tango, oh no
Too slow

Da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
