See those trees Bend in the wind I feel they've got a lot more sense than me You see I try to resist A rubberband bouncing back to life A rubberband bend the beat If I could learn to give like a rubberband I'd be back on my feet A rubberband hold me trousers up A rubberband ponytails If I could learn to twang like a rubberband I'd be a rubberband girl A rubberband girl me A rubberband girl me Oh I want to be a rubberband girl When I slip out Of my catapult I gotta land with my feet on the ground And let my body catch up A rubberband bouncing back to life A rubberband bend the beat If I could learn to give like a rubberband I'd be back on my feet A rubberband hold me trousers up A rubberband ponytails If I could learn to twang like a rubberband I'd be a rubberband girl A rubberband girl me A rubberband girl me Oh I want to be a rubberband girl Give like a rubberband Twang like a rubberband Snap like a rubberband Rub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub Rub-a-dub-a-dub Rub-a-dub One rubberband won't keep you up Two rubberbands won't keep you up Three rubberbands won't keep you up Here I go Yeah! One rubberband won't keep you up Two rubberbands won't keep you up Three rubberbands won't keep you up
