The idea of “Octopus’s Garden” came to Ringo Starr when he was on comedian Peter Sellers' boat in Sardinia in 1968, on holiday with his family after having temporarily leaving The Beatles during their recording of the “White Album” due to tensions in the group.

[Chorus]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
[Verse 1]

[Verse 2]
We would be warm below the storm

Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave
[Pre-Chorus]
We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
[Chorus]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
We would shout and swim about

[Pre-Chorus]
We would be so happy, you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
[Chorus]
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden with you
[Outro]
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
