TWO ABSOLUTE CLASSIC SIDES ON THIS CHILDREN'S 78 FROM DANNY KAYE

BOTH PLAYED MANY MANY TIMES ON CHILDRENS CHOICE AND FAMILY FAVOURITES....

THE TUBBY THE TUBA SONG

This children's song became a hit for Danny Kaye after hosting his own CBS radio show. It tells the story of a tuba who played in an orchestra, but never got to play a melody - that is until he meets the bullfrog!

There once was a band, best in the land

Everybody said oh my, they’re grand

But oh, how they laughed when the tuba went by

With an oompah pah, and a great big sigh

Tubby the tuba puffing away never had a tune to play

Always dreamed he’d sing a song instead of puffing all day long

With his oompah, oom pah pah, oom pah, oompah pah pah. 

Tubby said oh, gosh oh, gee, wish I had a melody

I’d be better off I know if I didn’t have to blow

This oompah, oom pah pah, oompah, oom pah pah

Then a friendly frog came by and said now Tubby don’t you cry

Take my bullfrog serenade and you’ll be the star of the big parade 

Tubby sang the song so grand, now he’s leader of the band

He’s as famous as can be with Tubby the tuba’s melody

Then a friendly frog came by and said now Tubby don’t you cry

Take my bullfrog serenade and you’ll be the star of the big parade 

Tubby sang the song so grand, now he’s leader of the band

He’s as famous as can be with Tubby the tuba’s melody

Tubby the tuba’s melody.
