Lyrics
[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
[Bridge]
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
[Verse 2]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
[Verse 3]
We would be warm below the storm (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
In our little hide-a-way beneath the waves (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah)
Resting our head on the sea bed (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
In an octopus's garden near a cave (Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah)
[Bridge]
We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
[Verse 4]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
[Verse 5]
We would shout and swim about (Ah-ah, ooh-ooh)
The coral that lies beneath the waves (Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh, what joy for every girl and boy (Ah-ah, ooh-ooh)
Knowing they're happy and they're safe (Happy and they're safe)
[Bridge]
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 (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
In an octopus's garden with you (Ah, ooh, ah-ah)
In an octopus's garden with you (Ah, ooh, ah-ah)
In an octopus's garden with you (Ah)
