Escrita por Ringo
Starr, foi gravada em 26 e 29 de abril de 1969 e em 17 e 18 de julho
de 1969 e lançada em 26 de setembro de 1969 no disco Abbey Road. Foi
a segunda composição de Ringo. E foi a última canção lançada
pelos Beatles que tinha Ringo nos vocais.
A idéia veio quando
Ringo estava no barco de Peter Sellers na Sardinia em 1968. Ele pediu
fish and chips pra almoçar mas veio Lula com chips. Foi a primeira
vez que ele comeu lula. O capitão do barco então contou a ele como
as Lulas andavam nos oceanos pegando pedras e objetos para construir
jardins.
Ringo cantou, tocou
bateria, percussão e efeitos sonoros. George harrison tocou guitarra
solo e fez backing vocals. Paul tocu baixo, piano e fez backing
vocals. John tocou guitarra ritmica e fez backing vocals.
A letra:
I'd like to be under
the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
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
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's 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's 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's 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's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden in the shade
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
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's 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's 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's 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's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
In an octopus's garden with you
