Octopus Blues

Well an octopus' life isn't easy

I want to tell you why

Too many arms to wave hello with

Too many to wave good-bye

Oh no, no, no

I just don't know which arms to use

I've got the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 blues

I took a fish on a date to the movies

She said, "Honey put your arms around me tight"

I said, "By the time I put all my arms around you

Gonna be sometime next Wednesday night!"

Oh no, no, no



Life is just full of tough news

I've got the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 blues

I've got trouble with my girlfriend among other things

She's an octopus and she says to me,

"Honey, please buy me 8 diamond rings!"

Oh no, no, no

Life is full of tough news

I've got the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 blues

I said the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 blues

The octopus blues
