Tunesmith Tuesday - "Rubber Biscuit" by the Blues Brothers


Originally written and performed in 1956 by The Chips, "Rubber Biscuit" was brought to prominence again in 1978 by the Blues Brothers (Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi) for their debut album, Briefcase Full of Blues


I'm not going to even ATTEMPT to list most of the lyrics, but here are the words you can understand:


Bow bow bow...
(Um, do that again)

Bow bow bow...
Have you ever heard of a wish sandwich? A wish sandwich is the kind of a sandwich where you have two slices of bread and you, hee hee hee, wish you had some meat...
Bow bow bow...

Ummm... the other day I had a ricochet biscuit. A ricochet biscuit is the kind of a biscuit that's supposed to bounce back off the wall into your mouth. If it don't bounce back... you go hungry!
Bow bow bow...

Umm, umm, umm... the other day I had a cool water sandwich and a Sunday-go-to-meetin' bun...
Bow bow bow...

Hee hee hee hee... What da ya want for nothing? ... a rubber biscuit?
Bow bow bow...
