Tubby The Tuba At The Circus Composer(s): George Kleinsinger Performer(s): The Manhattan Transfer
Tubby: 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: 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: 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
