歌词

Once upon a time there was an orchestra
Which was all busy tuning up
First the oboe gave his A to the strings
Then to the woodwinds and to the brass
Up and around the scales
They raced helter-skelter
Faster and faster
All but Tubby the tuba;
He was a fat little tubaPuffing away
But oh so slow
'Oh what lovely music
' thought Tubby and he sighed '
Here what's the matter '
Said Peepo the Piccolo
'Oh ' said Tubby '
Every time we do a new piece
You all get such pretty melodies to play
And I never never a pretty melody '
But people never write pretty melodies for tubas
It just isn't done
Shhh there's the conductor
First the violins danced
Their lovely little tune on their strings
Then they cried to the flute
'Catch ' 'Got it ' cried the flute
'My turn ' tooted the trumpet
And the rest joined in
The cello then the oboe
And the bassoon
While Tubby went oompah oompah
Oompah oompah'Catch me '
The little tune 'Catch me '
'Hmhmhmhm I got you '
Cried Tubby 'Oh you're sitting on me
' said the little tune
Poor Tubby picked up the flat little tune
And tried to squeeze it back into shape
'You clumsy fool '
Snapped the violins 'I'm sorry Mr Fiddle '
Said Tubby 'Fiddle Fiddle indeed '
And the violins quivered with great indignation '
You will please address us as violins
Fiddles indeed '
'Tubby ' said the conductor
'Tubby what is the matter '
'Please sir I thought it would be so nice to dance
With the pretty little tune
Instead of just going oompah oompah all the time '
'Dance ' laughed the violins
'Dance Well really '
The French horn quietly
Put his hand to his mouth and smiled
And the whole orchestra began to laugh
'Stop it '
The conductor 'Stop it I say Tubby '
'Please sir
I wasn't laughing ' Rehearsal was over
Tubby was walking home with Pipo the Piccolo
'Please Peepo ' said Tubby 'I just feel so bad
I don't think I want any company '
'I understand '
Peepo 'Good night ''Good night ' said Tubby
The moon was out and Tubby
Went to the river and sat on a log
And he looked at himself in the water
Alone am I me and I together
If I went away from me
How unhappy I would be
Me and I oh my
The trees whispered in the wind
And the waterfalls tinkled Suddenly
A big bullfrog hopped out of the water
And sat beside him (croaking)
Lovely evening I said lovely evening
I said beautiful evening
Hello hello hello
But Tubby just sat 'Oh well said the frog
'Oh well If I'm not wanted ''Oh ' cried Tubby '
Please Mr Frog come back
I didn't mean to be impolite
'Back hopped the frog 'Oh that's all right
I'm used to it No one pays any attention to me
Either ''Really ' said Tubby 'Why of course
Every night I sit here and sing my heart out
But does anyone listen
No ''Can you sing ' asked Tubby
'Can I sing Listen ' (sings a melody)
'Oh that's lovely ' said Tubby '
