Tubby (Tim Hauser)

I want to be seen,

I want to be heard;

My dream has always been

To sing like a bird.

Why can't I be

Content to just be me?

Why can't I be

Just the best that I can be?

I don't like to see me

Feeling so unhappy;

I would much rather see me

Very, very happy.



Tubby (Tim Hauser)

Oh, the duty of a tuba

When the others sing, "Tra-la,"

Is to sound just like a tuba

And say, "OOM-PAH."

But when you've got to march all day,

Not only march, but also play,

You start to lose your breath and huff,

And instead of "OOM-PAH,"

All you say is "Puff,puff, puff."

I'm a very sad tuba

'Cause I've lost my OOM-PAH

Nothing's left for me to do now

But go, "Puff,puff,puff,"
