{Intro}

{Chorus}

Wind it up, bounce back

Do the rubber tree

Wind it up, bounce back

Do the rubber tree

{Verse 1}

In Indonesia, there's a thousand snakes

That'll paralyze in a heartbeat

But out on the floor they got a brand-new dance

That'll surely kill you called the rubber tree

{Chorus}

You got to

Wind it up, bounce back

Do the rubber tree

You got to

Wind it up, bounce back

Do the rubber tree

{Verse 2}

Politicians are like reptiles

Amazing longevity

You cut off their heads, hey, it don't matter

They stay in office anyway

{Chorus}

You got to wind thеm up

They'll bounce back

Do the rubbеr tree

You got to wind them up

They'll bounce back

Do the rubber tree

{Bridge}

You got to wind it up, 'til you cool down

Spring back, the second time around

Wind them up, 'til they cool down

Spring back, the second time around

{solo}

{Bridge}

You got to wind them up 'til they cool down

Spring back the second time around

Wind it up 'til you cool down

Spring back the second time around

{Verse 3}

There's a swarthy gentleman heads into town

Without his family in tow

He sees a youngblood in snakeskin boots

He's going down low

{Chorus}

He's gonna wind them up

He'll bounce back, do the rubber tree

He's gonna wind him up

He'll bounce back, do the rubber tree

Wind them up, bounce back

Do the rubber tree

Gonna wind them up, bounce back

Do the rubber tree

Go on, wind him up

{Outro}
