I'd like to be the sea
an octopus' garden the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
his octopus' garden the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden me
I'd like to be the sea
an octopus' garden the shade.

We would be warm the storm
our little hideaway the waves
Resting our head the sea bed
an octopus' garden a cave

We would sing and dance
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be the sea
an octopus' garden the shade

We would shout and swim
The coral that lies the waves
(Lies the ocean waves)
Oh what joy every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(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 the sea
an octopus' garden you.
