Manhattan Transfer - TUBBY THE TUBA lyrics

Tubby wants to play the violins' tune, but it's too light and flimsy for a big tuba. He ends up squashing the little tune, and the conductor sends him away. Tubby wanders forlornly to the edge of a pond where he meets a Bullfrog. The Bullfrog teaches him a new song that becomes Tubby's very own melody.

Tubby (Tim Hauser)

Alone am I, me and I together.

If I went away from me,

How unhappy I would be,

Me and I, oh my.

Bullfrog (Alan Paul)

Bug-Gup! Bug-Gup!

Lovely evening!

Bug-Gup! Bug-Gup!

I said. "lovely evening!"

Clunk! Clunk! Clunk!

I said, "Bee-oo-tiful evening!"

Hello! Bug-Gup!

Hello! Bug-Gup!

Hello!
