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
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 seabed
In an octopus's garden near a cave
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
Great
Great
Great that
Beautiful
Sensational
Fab
Isn't that great?
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)
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
