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 seabed 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.

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' garden with you,

In an octopus' garden with you,

      D        E           A   Bb    A

In an octopus' garden with you.
