manhattan transfer – tubby at the circus lyrics
tubby (tim hauser)
when the buds begin to pop
and the robin takes a hop
everybody says, “it’s spring today!”
i suppose that may be so,
but i’d like for you to know
i can always tell it’s spring another way/
i can always tell it’s spring
when the circus comes to town;
it makes me want to sing
when i b-mp into a clown!
when the circus marches past
and the band goes tan-ta-ra
i 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 n-body,
so be yourself, or else.
a hippopotamus
would look very curious
flying like a b-tterfly;
a fierce and hungry lion
would look silly tryin’
to bake an apple pie.
i think you’d get a laugh
if you saw a tall giraffe
swinging by his tail from a tree;
i think an octopus
would look quite ridiculous
knitting 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 happiest
by being no one else but you.
