Octopus's Garden

Samuel E. Wright

I′d like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shadeHe′d let us in
He knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I′d ask my friends to come and see
An octopus′s garden with me
I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus′s garden in the shade

We would be warm
Below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head
On the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know that we can′t be found
I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus′s garden in the shade

We would shout
And swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh, what a joy
For every girl and boy
Knowing that they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they′re safe)

Oh, we would be so happy, you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I′d like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you and you and you and you
In an octopus′s garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
