the further adventures of tubby the tuba

tubby misbehaves at rehearsal

and the conductor tells him to leave. defiant

tubby joins a marching band. it's fun at first

but all the marching finally wears him out. he can't even oom-pah anymore

and he longs to get back to the orchestra. tubby escapes and runs home once again where he finds that all his friends missed him

too! tubby realizes he belongs in the orchestra

and it makes him very happy

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

oh

the duty of a tuba

when the others sing

tra-la"
