[00:00:00] Written by：George Kleinsinger

[00:00:00] Once upon a time there was an orchestra

[00:00:03] Which was all busy tuning up

[00:00:05] First the oboe gave his a to the strings

[00:00:08] Then to the woodwinds and to the brass

[00:00:13] Up and around the scales they raced halter skater

[00:00:15] Faster and faster

[00:00:20] All but tubby the tuba he was a fat little tuba

[00:00:25] Puffing away but oh so slow

[00:00:32] Oh what lovely music thought tubby and he sighed

[00:00:39] Here what's the matter said peepo the piccolo

[00:00:47] Oh said tubby every time we do a new piece

[00:00:50] You all get such pretty melodies to play

[00:00:52] And I never never a pretty melody

[00:00:56] But people never write pretty melodies for tubas it just isn't done

[00:01:01] Shhh there's the conductor

[00:01:03] First the violins danced their lovely little tune on their strings

[00:01:10] Then they cried to the flute catch

[00:01:14] Got it cried the flute

[00:01:19] My turn tooted the trumpet

[00:01:28] And the rest joined in

[00:01:31] The cello then the oboe and the bassoon

[00:01:51] While tubby went oompah oompah oompah oompah

[00:01:54] Catch me cried the little tune catch me

[00:02:00] Hmhmhmhm I got you cried tubby

[00:02:04] Oh you're sitting on me said the little tune

[00:02:08] Poor tubby picked up the flat little tune

[00:02:10] And tried to squeeze it back into shape

[00:02:13] You clumsy fool snapped the violins

[00:02:17] I'm sorry Mr fiddle said tubby

[00:02:20] Fiddle fiddle indeed

[00:02:22] And the violins quivered with great indignation

[00:02:27] You will please address us as violins fiddles indeed

[00:02:32] Tubby said the conductor tubby what is the matter

[00:02:38] Please sir I thought it would be so nice to dance

[00:02:41] With the pretty little tune instead of just going oompah oompah all the time

[00:02:47] Dance laughed the violins dance well really

[00:02:52] The french horn quietly put his hand to his mouth and smiled

[00:02:55] And the whole orchestra began to laugh

[00:03:02] Stop it cried the conductor stop it I say tubby

[00:03:07] Please sir I wasn't laughing rehearsal was over

[00:03:15] Tubby was walking home with pipo the piccolo

[00:03:23] Please peepo said tubby I just feel so bad

[00:03:27] I don't think I want any company

[00:03:30] I understand said peepo good night

[00:03:33] Good night said tubby

[00:03:36] The moon was out and tubby went to the river and

[00:03:39] Sat on a log and he looked at himself in the water

[00:03:44] Alone am I me and I together if I went away

[00:03:58] From me how unhappy I would be me and I oh my

[00:04:15] The trees whispered in the wind and the waterfalls tinkled

[00:04:23] Suddenly a big bullfrog hopped out of the water

[00:04:26] And sat on the rock beside him

[00:04:32] Lovely evening I said lovely evening I said beautiful evening hello hello hello

[00:04:47] But tubby just sat

[00:04:50] Oh well said the frog oh well if I'm not wanted

[00:04:54] Oh cried tubby please Mr frog come back I didn't mean to be impolite

[00:04:59] Back hopped the frog oh that's all right

[00:05:03] I'm used to it no one pays any attention to me either
