I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' 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' 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' garden in the shade
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)
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' garden with you.

"It's 84 but feels like 90
The sun is setting and the pressure is steady
The winds are out of the South
And you can see for miles
The forecast leaves me wishin'
That I was in the current condition" A1A Jake - Jake & The Half Conched Band
Coconut Grove by the Lovin Spoonful...groovy song from the 60s. Heard it on RM the other day and love the memory of being in Coconut Grove for Don't Stop The Carnival...
also makes me think of Jerry Jeff and Jimmy hanging out there.
It's really true how nothin' matters
No mad, mad world and no mad hatters
Noone's pitchin' cause there ain't no batters
In Coconut Groove
Don't bar the door, there's no one comin'
The ocean's roar will dull the drummin'
Of any city thoughts and city ways
The ocean breezes cool my mind
The salty days are hers and mine
Just to do what we wanna
Tonight we'll find a dune that's ours
And softly she will speak the stars
Until sunup
It's all from havin' someone knowin'
Just which way your head is blowin'
Who's always warm, like in the mornin'
In Coconut Groove
The ocean breezes cool my mind
The salty days are hers and mine
Just to do what we wanna
Tonight we'll find a dune that's ours
And softly she will speak the stars
Until sunup
It's really true how nothin' matters
No mad, mad world and no mad hatters
Noone's pitchin' cause there ain't no batters
In Coconut Groove
Can't you feel 'em circlin' (closin'in) honey?
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around?
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
and you're the only bait in town.
You got fins to the left, fins to the right,
and you're the only girl in town.
take life with a grain of salt a slice of lime and a shot of tequila
Well, I don't mind being a longboardin' grandpa
If you will be my awesome grandma
Yeah I suggest we have a little cool conch salad
In the shade down in old Nassau
And there we'll do just as we please
It ain't nothing but a breeze
Heard it on RM this mornin'...still singing it in my head here at work.
