2.- Lyrics

(Chorus)

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

(Repeat Chorus)

We would be warm

Below the storm

In our little hideaway

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

(Repeat Chorus)

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
