I 'd like to be under the sea
in an Octopus's garden in the shade.
He's let us in, 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 be 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.
We would shout and swim about
the coral that lies beneath the waves.
(Lies beneath the ocean waves )

Oh what a joy for ev'ry girl and boy
knowing they 're happy and they 're safe.
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
in an octopus's garden with you
in an octopus's garden with you
