In his Octopus's Garden in the shade.

I'd ask my friends to come and see

An Octopus's Garden with me.

In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

We would be warm below the storm
A B
In our little hideaway beneath the waves.
E C#m
Resting our head on the sea bed
A B
In an Octopus's Garden near a cave.
C#m
We would sing and dance around
A B
Because we know we can't be found.

I'd like to be under the sea
A B
In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

The coral that lies beneath the waves.

We would be so happy, you and me.

No one there to tell us what to do.
