VERSE 1:
i’d like to be under the sea
in an octopus’s garden in the shade
he’d let us in, knows where we’ve been
in his octopus’s garden in the shade
CHORUS 1:
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
VERSE 2:
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
CHORUS 2:
we would sing and dance around
because we know we can’t be found
i’d like to be under the sea
in an octopus’s garden in the shade
VERSE 3:
we would shout and swim about
the coral that lies beneath the waves
(lies beneath the ocean waves)
oh what joy for every girl and boy
knowing they’re happy and they’re safe
(happy and they’re safe)
CHORUS 3:
we would be so happy you and me
no one there to tell us what to do
OUTRO:
i’d like to be under the sea…
in an octopus’s garden with you…
in an octopus’s garden with you…
in an octopus’s garden with you…
