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
