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.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves. (Ahhhh)
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an Octopus's Garden near a cave. (Ahhhh)

We would shout (Ahhhh) and swim about (Ooooh)
The coral that lies beneath the waves. (Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh, what joy for (Ahhhh) every girl and boy (Ooooh)
Knowing they're happy and they're safe. (Happy and they're safe)
