The Further Adventures Of Tubby The Tuba — текст песни (Manhattan Transfer)

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,puff,puff,
