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 sea bed

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.

We would shout and swim about
the coral that lies beneath the waves.
Oh
what joy
for ev'ry girl and boy

knowing they're happy and they're safe.
We would be so happy you and me.
Noone there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea

in an octopus's garden with you.
