I'd like to be, under the sea

 In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

He'd let us in know, where we've been,

 In his Octopus's Garden in the shade.

I'd ask my friends to come and see

An Octopus's Garden with me.

I'd like to be under the sea

 In an Octopus's Garden in the shade.

We would be, warm below the storm

 In our little hideaway beneath the waves.

Resting our head, on the sea bed

 In an Octopus's 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's 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's Garden with you,

 In an Octopus's Garden with you,

 In an Octopus's Garden with you
