时长: 08:53
Once upon a time there was an orchestra[00:00:00]
Which was all busy tuning up [00:00:03]
First the oboe gave his A to the strings [00:00:05]
Then to the woodwinds and to the brass [00:00:08]
Up and around the scales[00:00:13]
They raced helter-skelter [00:00:14]
Faster and faster [00:00:16]
All but Tubby the tuba;[00:00:20]
He was a fat little tubaPuffing away [00:00:24]
But oh so slow [00:00:27]
'Oh what lovely music [00:00:32]
' thought Tubby and he sighed '[00:00:34]
Here what's the matter '[00:00:39]
Said Peepo the Piccolo[00:00:40]
'Oh ' said Tubby '[00:00:47]
Every time we do a new piece [00:00:48]
You all get such pretty melodies to play[00:00:50]
And I never never a pretty melody '[00:00:52]
But people never write pretty melodies for tubas [00:00:56]
It just isn't done [00:00:58]
Shhh there's the conductor[00:01:00]
First the violins danced[00:01:03]
Their lovely little tune on their strings [00:01:04]
Then they cried to the flute[00:01:10]
'Catch ' 'Got it ' cried the flute [00:01:12]
'My turn ' tooted the trumpet [00:01:19]
And the rest joined in [00:01:27]
The cello then the oboe [00:01:31]
And the bassoon [00:01:42]
While Tubby went oompah oompah[00:01:50]
Oompah oompah'Catch me '[00:01:53]
The little tune 'Catch me '[00:01:55]
'Hmhmhmhm I got you '[00:02:00]
Cried Tubby 'Oh you're sitting on me [00:02:01]
' said the little tune [00:02:05]
Poor Tubby picked up the flat little tune[00:02:08]
And tried to squeeze it back into shape [00:02:10]
'You clumsy fool '[00:02:13]
Snapped the violins 'I'm sorry Mr Fiddle '[00:02:14]
Said Tubby 'Fiddle Fiddle indeed '[00:02:18]
And the violins quivered with great indignation '[00:02:22]
You will please address us as violins [00:02:26]
Fiddles indeed '[00:02:29]
'Tubby ' said the conductor [00:02:32]
'Tubby what is the matter '[00:02:33]
'Please sir I thought it would be so nice to dance[00:02:37]
With the pretty little tune [00:02:40]
Instead of just going oompah oompah all the time '[00:02:42]
'Dance ' laughed the violins [00:02:46]
'Dance Well really '[00:02:48]
The French horn quietly[00:02:51]
Put his hand to his mouth and smiled [00:02:53]
And the whole orchestra began to laugh [00:02:55]
'Stop it '[00:03:01]
The conductor 'Stop it I say Tubby '[00:03:02]
'Please sir [00:03:06]
I wasn't laughing ' Rehearsal was over [00:03:07]
Tubby was walking home with Pipo the Piccolo[00:03:14]
'Please Peepo ' said Tubby 'I just feel so bad [00:03:22]
I don't think I want any company '[00:03:26]
'I understand '[00:03:29]
Peepo 'Good night ''Good night ' said Tubby [00:03:30]
The moon was out and Tubby[00:03:36]
Went to the river and sat on a log [00:03:37]
And he looked at himself in the water [00:03:40]
Alone am I me and I together [00:03:43]
If I went away from me [00:03:54]
How unhappy I would be [00:04:00]
Me and I oh my [00:04:06]
The trees whispered in the wind[00:04:13]
And the waterfalls tinkled Suddenly [00:04:16]
A big bullfrog hopped out of the water[00:04:23]
And sat beside him (croaking)[00:04:25]
Lovely evening I said lovely evening [00:04:32]
I said beautiful evening [00:04:39]
Hello hello hello [00:04:42]
But Tubby just sat 'Oh well said the frog [00:04:47]
'Oh well If I'm not wanted ''Oh ' cried Tubby '[00:04:51]
Please Mr Frog come back [00:04:55]
I didn't mean to be impolite[00:04:57]
'Back hopped the frog 'Oh that's all right [00:04:59]
I'm used to it No one pays any attention to me [00:05:02]
Either ''Really ' said Tubby 'Why of course [00:05:06]
Every night I sit here and sing my heart out [00:05:10]
But does anyone listen [00:05:14]
No ''Can you sing ' asked Tubby [00:05:16]
'Can I sing Listen ' (sings a melody)[00:05:19]
'Oh that's lovely ' said Tubby '[00:05:44]
