[Chorus] I'd like to be under the sea In an octopus's garden in the shade [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I'd like to be under the sea In an octopus's garden in the shade [Verse 2] We would be warm below the storm In our little hide-a-way 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 [Chorus] I'd like to be under the sea In an octopus's garden in the shade [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I'd like to be under the sea In an octopus's garden in the shade [Coda] I'd like to be under the sea In an octopus's garden with you
