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
