... your tuba lies on the whisp'ring wind, ah ah ah, ah...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

And as we wind on down the road
Our bells taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who plays her Arbans and wants to show
tubas are still offered in brass of gold
And if you practice very hard
Vaughan Williams tune will come to you at last
When all are piston and piston is all
To play some Bach but not rock n roll

Kewl! (and this coming from a guy who's value to his cover band on this tune was the ability to play recorder... )

And she's plying an airway, or seven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a click she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's plying an airway, or seven.

There's a score on the stand but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes notes have two shadings.
In a chair by the drums the brook, there's a tubist who plays,
Sometimes all our attacks are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the d'rector will lead us to reason.
And a new bar will dawn for those who play long
And the orch'stra will echo with laughter.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
