Playing the Tuba (Baby Beluga, Raffi)

The football season is approaching fast, so here is an ode to marching bands to the tune of Baby Beluga.

Playing the Tuba

Playing the tuba on the field for free,
Helping my team to victory,
Oh, how I love the autumnal glow
As our little band puts on a show.

Playing the tuba,
Oh, playing the tuba
In my uniform.
When the weather's warm,
It makes me happy...

Watch in wonder as we march and play.
We have practiced this every day.
When we're on, give a lusty shout.
Marching band is what this game's all about.

Playing the tuba,
Oh, playing the tuba.
Listen to our song.
At the least, pretend
You like to hear us.

Playing the tuba on the field for free,
Helping my team to victory,
Oh, how I love the autumnal glow
As our little band puts on a show.

When it's dark and you've been fed
Pop and hot dogs, you'll stare ahead
Till the game ends and we all file out.
Good night, all you fans, good night.

Playing the tuba,
Oh, playing the tuba.
It's a lot of fun.
Another game's been won
My legs are aching...
