Tubby (tim hauser)
I want to be seen,
I want to be heard;
My dream has always been
To sing like a bird.
Why can't i be
Content to just be me?
Why can't i be
Just the best that i can be?
I don't like to see me
Feeling so unhappy;
I would much rather see me
Very, very happy.

Tubby (tim hauser)
Oh, the duty of a tuba
When the others sing, 'tra-la,'
Is to sound just like a tuba
And say, 'oom-pah.'
But when you've got to march all day,
Not only march, but also play,
You start to lose your breath and huff,
And instead of 'oom-pah,'
All you say is 'puff,puff, puff.'
I'm a very sad tuba
'cause i've lost my oom-pah
Nothing's left for me to do now
But go, 'puff廧uff廧uff?
