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.

An Octopus's Garden with me.

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

No one there to tell us what to do.
