I've been all alone On my own, not so groovy It was rather cold Gettin' 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 Da-da-da Da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
