Octopus's Garden


Abbey Road Beatles 1967-1970

(Starkey)

I'd like to be
under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in,
knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends
to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be
under the sea
In an octopus' 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' 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' garden in the shade

We would shout
and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves) Oh what joy
for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(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' garden with you.
