We would shout and swim about
In an octopus's garden in the shade
Restin' our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden with you
We would be warm below the storm
We would be so happy you and me
Lies beneath the ocean waves
In an octopus's garden near a cave
The coral that lies beneath the waves
Because we know we can't be found
Happy and we're safe
I'd like to be under the sea
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
In an octopus's garden in the shade
In an octopus's garden with you
In his octopus's garden in the shade
We would sing and dance around
No one there to tell us what to do
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
I'd like to be under the sea
Knowing we're happy and we're safe
Oh, what joy, for every girl and boy
I'd like to be under the sea
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
