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    In 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 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
