the 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 bump 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 n0body
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
