Tubby At The Circus

Tubby (Tim Hauser)When the buds begin to popAnd the robin takes a hopEverybody says, "It's spring today!"I suppose that may be so, But I'd like for you to knowI can always tell it's spring another way/I can always tell it's springWhen the circus comes to town;It makes me want to sing When I bump into a clown!When the circus marches pastAnd the band goes tan-ta-raI know it's spring at last,And my heart goes, "OOM-PAH!"Tubby's Idea (Cheryl Bentyne)Alley-oop, OOM-PAH,Alley-oop, OOM-PAH,An acrobat you ought to be,Alley-oop, OOM-PAH,Alley-oop, OOM-PAH,Hey Tubby! You'd be a sight to see!Elephant (Alan Paul)Be yourself, you can't be anybody else,Be yourself is my advice to you,Or else you'll always be a nobody,So be yourself, or else.A hippopotamus Would look very curiousFlying like a butterfly;A fierce and hungry lionWould look silly tryin'To bake an apple pie.I think you'd get a laughIf you saw a tall giraffeSwinging by his tail from a tree;I think an octopusWould look quite ridiculousKnitting sweaters at the bottom of the sea.So be yourself, and do the things that you know best,Be yourself, I think that you'd be happiestBy being no one else but you.
