[Chorus: Ringo Starr]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

[Verse 1: Ringo Starr]
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

[Pre-Chorus: Ringo Starr]
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me

[Chorus: Ringo Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison & Paul McCartney]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

[Verse 2: Ringo Starr]
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the seabed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

[Pre-Chorus: Ringo Starr]
We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
[Chorus: Ringo Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison & Paul McCartney]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Ringo Starr]
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves (Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh, what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe (Happy and they're safe)

[Pre-Chorus: Ringo Starr]
We would be so happy, you and me
No one there to tell us what to do

[Chorus: Ringo Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison & Paul McCartney]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you

[Outro: Ringo Starr, John Lennon, George Harrison & Paul McCartney]
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
