"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."

'Bath Salts' have a wholly, entirely different meaning of context on today's street language!

Bills new hair restoring invention was a real pain, but as he'd invested so much and already worn it for a month, he thought 'heck I'll give it another few weeks'

During the interview, Our subject commented, "This suit had one draw back that needed improvement and after years of government funded research and studies we have come up with a solution. And this is the suit"

The reporter asked, "What was the draw back?"


Subject, "An escape valve to deal with flatulence".

The reporter then asked, "But what does the suit do."

Subject, "Our government grant just require us to see if it could be done, to actually find a purpose ww have applied for more funding."

The reporter then asked, "Any ideas where we could apply this?"

Subject, "We thought maybe Washington D.C. politicians, but another government funded research and study found that the politicians like smelling their own farts."

Eventually he perfected the Babel-fish, and was able to put it in his ear and understand aliens everywhere as he hitchhiked across the galaxy. The guide book he wrote had 'Don't Panic' written on the cover in big, friendly letters.
