(F7)Hand me down my walk in’ cane, hand me down my hat,

(F7)You and me were go in’ out to catch the lat est sounds,
guar an teed to blow your mind so high you won’t come down.
Hey y’all pre (Ab)pare your self for the (Eb)rub ber band (Cm7)man, you’ve nev er (Ab)heard a sound like the (Eb)rub ber band (Cm7)man, you’re bound to (Ab)lose con trol when the (Eb)rub ber band starts (F)to jam.
(F7)Once I went to hear them play at a club out side of town.
I was so sur prised I was hyp no tized by the sound these cats put down.
(F7)When I saw this short fat guy stretch a band be tween his toes, hey, I laughed so hard ’cause the band got down when it fi n’ly reached his nose.
Do doop doop doop doop do doop (F)do doop.
Do doop doop doop doop do doop (F)do doop.
Do doop doop doop doop do doop (F)do doop (F)do doop.
Doop doop doop do doop.
