Octopus’s Garden (Take 9) Lyrics

[Ringo] Well, that was superb... Right, George?

[Jeff  Jarratt] It's take 9

[George]
1,  2, 3, 4
*plays wrong guitar note*
*laughs*
1,  2, 3, 4

[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
I’d ask my friends to come and see
An octopus’s garden with me

[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
I’d ask my friends to come...
[Break]

[Ringo] Sorry, did I miss- I went wrong... did I?

[John] I thought I heard you singing "an octopus’s garden with John."

[Ringo]
*laughing* I think I went into uh... "I'd ask my friends" bef- earlier I think... or you all came late

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
