Lyric Tubby The Tuba At The Circus
Tubby joins the circus but ends up as a water carrier for the elephants. He really wants to become a star under the big top bu walking the tightrope. However, Tubby takes an embarrassing fall. A kindly old elephant helps him to see that music is Tubby s special talent.
Tubby (Tim Hauser)
When the buds begin to pop
And the robin takes a hop
Everybody says, "It s spring today!"
I suppose that may be so,
But I d like for you to know
I can always tell it s spring another way/
I can always tell it s spring
When the circus comes to town;
It makes me want to sing
When I bump into a clown!
When the circus marches past
And the band goes tan-ta-ra
I know it s spring at last,
And my heart goes, "OOM-PAH!"
Tubby s Idea (Cheryl Bentyne)
Alley-oop, OOM-PAH,
Alley-oop, OOM-PAH,
An acrobat you ought to be,
Alley-oop, OOM-PAH,
Alley-oop, OOM-PAH,
Hey Tubby! You d be a sight to see!
Elephant (Alan Paul)
Be yourself, you can t be anybody else,
Be yourself is my advice to you,
Or else you ll always be a nobody,
So be yourself, or else.
A hippopotamus
Would look very curious
Flying like a butterfly;
A fierce and hungry lion
Would look silly tryin
To bake an apple pie.
I think you d get a laugh
If you saw a tall giraffe
Swinging by his tail from a tree;
I think an octopus
Would look quite ridiculous
Knitting sweaters at the bottom of the sea.
So be yourself, and do the things that you know best,
Be yourself, I think that you d be happiest
By being no one else but you
