The Tubby the Tuba Song - Danny Kaye

There once was a band, best in the land

Everybody said, oh my, they’re grand

But oh, how they laughed when the tuba went by

With an oompah pah, and a great big sigh

Tubby the tuba, puffing away

Never had a tune to play

Always dreamed he’d sing a song

Instead of puffing all day long

With his oompah, oom pah pah, oom pah, oompah pah pah

Tubby said, oh gosh, oh gee, wish I had a melody

I’d be better off I know, if I didn’t have to blow

This oompah, oom pah pah, oompah, oom pah pah

Then a friendly frog came by

And said, now Tubby don’t you cry

Take my bullfrog serenade

And you’ll be the star of the big parade

Tubby sang the song so grand

Now he’s leader of the band

He’s as famous as can be

With Tubby the tuba’s melody

Then a friendly frog came by

And said, now Tubby don’t you cry

Take my bullfrog serenade

And you’ll be the star of the big parade

Tubby sang the song so grand

Now he’s leader of the band

He’s as famous as can be

With Tubby the tuba’s melody

Tubby the tuba’s melody
