《Tubby the Tuba》歌词

[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

[00:00:14] They raced helter-skelter

[00:00:16] Faster and faster

[00:00:20] All but Tubby the tuba;

[00:00:24] He was a fat little tubaPuffing away

[00:00:27] But oh so slow

[00:00:32] 'Oh what lovely music

[00:00:34] ' thought Tubby and he sighed '

[00:00:39] Here what's the matter '

[00:00:40] Said Peepo the Piccolo

[00:00:47] 'Oh ' said Tubby '

[00:00:48] 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

[00:00:58] It just isn't done

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

[00:01:03] First the violins danced

[00:01:04] Their lovely little tune on their strings

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

[00:01:12] 'Catch ' 'Got it ' cried the flute

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

[00:01:27] And the rest joined in

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

[00:01:42] And the bassoon

[00:01:50] While Tubby went oompah oompah

[00:01:53] Oompah oompah'Catch me '

[00:01:55] The little tune 'Catch me '

[00:02:00] 'Hmhmhmhm I got you '

[00:02:01] Cried Tubby 'Oh you're sitting on me

[00:02:05] ' 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 '

[00:02:14] Snapped the violins 'I'm sorry Mr Fiddle '

[00:02:18] Said Tubby 'Fiddle Fiddle indeed '

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

[00:02:26] You will please address us as violins

[00:02:29] Fiddles indeed '

[00:02:32] 'Tubby ' said the conductor

[00:02:33] 'Tubby what is the matter '

[00:02:37] 'Please sir I thought it would be so nice to dance

[00:02:40] With the pretty little tune

[00:02:42] Instead of just going oompah oompah all the time '

[00:02:46] 'Dance ' laughed the violins

[00:02:48] 'Dance Well really '

[00:02:51] The French horn quietly

[00:02:53] Put his hand to his mouth and smiled

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

[00:03:01] 'Stop it '

[00:03:02] The conductor 'Stop it I say Tubby '

[00:03:06] 'Please sir

[00:03:07] I wasn't laughing ' Rehearsal was over

[00:03:14] Tubby was walking home with Pipo the Piccolo

[00:03:22] 'Please Peepo ' said Tubby 'I just feel so bad

[00:03:26] I don't think I want any company '

[00:03:29] 'I understand '

[00:03:30] Peepo 'Good night ''Good night ' said Tubby

[00:03:36] The moon was out and Tubby

[00:03:37] Went to the river and sat on a log

[00:03:40] And he looked at himself in the water

[00:03:43] Alone am I me and I together

[00:03:54] If I went away from me

[00:04:00] How unhappy I would be

[00:04:06] Me and I oh my

[00:04:13] The trees whispered in the wind

[00:04:16] And the waterfalls tinkled Suddenly

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

[00:04:25] And sat beside him (croaking)

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

[00:04:39] I said beautiful evening

[00:04:42] Hello hello hello

[00:04:47] But Tubby just sat 'Oh well said the frog

[00:04:51] 'Oh well If I'm not wanted ''Oh ' cried Tubby '

[00:04:55] Please Mr Frog come back

[00:04:57] I didn't mean to be impolite

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

[00:05:02] I'm used to it No one pays any attention to me

[00:05:06] Either ''Really ' said Tubby 'Why of course

[00:05:10] Every night I sit here and sing my heart out

[00:05:14] But does anyone listen

[00:05:16] No ''Can you sing ' asked Tubby

[00:05:19] 'Can I sing Listen ' (sings a melody)

[00:05:44] 'Oh that's lovely ' said Tubby '
