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 hide-away 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

We would shout and swim about, The coral that lies beneath the waves
Oh, what joy for every 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…
