Gene Pitney, who passed away 5 April 06, is credited by some sources for the OS; credit often is given also to (co-workers?) Aaron Schroeder and Ann Orlowski. Does anyone have a certain source on this? Bobby Vee's first big gig was filling in for Buddy Holly and the Crickets in Fargo, North Dakota, when the latter's plane crashed en route ("The day the music died"). OS lyrics here.Midi here.
Rubber ball, we come bouncin' in, we do
Rubber ball, we come bouncin' in, we two
Ooh, ooh - ooh
I'm at a... rubber ball
Baby, it's all a cool freakin' scene
(Bouncy, bouncy) (Bouncy, bouncy)
At a... rubber ball,
Ev'ry-one's dressed... up in ne-oprene
(Bouncy, bouncy) (Bouncy, bouncy)
I'll... get... my fetish hoots
(People all wear black wetsuits)
I'm at a... rubber ball,
I come bouncin' on to you
Rubber ball, I come bouncin' on you, too
If you... stretch my suit 'til it's thin enough to tear
I'll just... stretch my coot: admit you anywhere
And at a... rubber ball,
I'll come bouncin' back to you
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back, ya-hoo!
I... bounce and party 'round
(Get all wound when rubber, pound)
And at a... rubber ball,
I'll come bouncin' back to view!
Rubber ball, I'll come bouncin' back to woo!
Ooh, ooh - ooh...
(Bouncy gown: see!) (Bouncing down, see!)
(Bounce around, ¡si!) (Bounce: downtown, ¡si!)*
Eeh, eeh - eeh
I'm dressed in... rubber, all;
I'm wearing girdle by Playtex
(Flouncy, flouncy) (Flouncy, flouncy)
Dressed in... rubber, all;
I can lay Tex while wear latex
(Mounds, he found, see!) (Mounts, he counts, heh!)
Can even... squeeze guys, safe from old gay hex
(In rubber suit, it's always safe sex!)
But at a... rubber ball, I come bouncing back to you!
Rubber ball, I'll "come," bouncing a-bove you
Rubber ball, I come bouncing, now love you
Rubber ball, I come bouncing, how love you...
(repeat until elasticity is gone, then fade)
* "si" = "yes" (Spanish, whose practice is to put "!" or "?" upside-down at the beginning of the sentence to give you a "heads-up", instead of surprising you at the end. "Upside-down and heads up" - that and the taco were really cool ideas from the Spanish!)

Hilarious rebound here...with another Pitney tune..far out and most inventive...love it!..especially lines,like...I can lay Tex while wearing latex...bouncing fives
You're on a roll! And "I can lay Tex while wear latex" was my favorite line too and add "gay hex". I imagined these rubber things just bouncing merrly along! LOL 5's
all those bouncy bouncys are making me queasy (no, not a rhyme here either) - very good tribute to Gene Pitney, TT - 555
AFW, Patrick/Patricia (covering all bases here lol), Stuart, thanks.
interesting twist..lol
alvin, thanks.
Lots of laughs here, TT. 555
Poor Tommy...it's Patricia. I really thought you knew. : D
Rick C, Pat Adagio, thanks. (yes, I knew - just funnin' on my own ignorance of certain others.)
"In rubber suits it's always safe sex," another great line ! The wordplay was wonderful ! Rubber Ball !! Got an extra ticket??
Paree Dee, thanks.
Anyone interested, XM Radio rebroadcast their Gene Pitney interview/anthology today. Gene definitely wrote both the music and lyrics for this OS. No word on why Schroeder/Orlowski are credited on many Web sites. Probably, one site made a mistake and the rest copied it.
