Lyrics to "Orange Octopus"

(tune of "If you're happy and know it")

Oh, I wish I was an orange octopus. 
Oh, I wish I was an orange octopus. 
Oh I'd wave my lovely legs,
And I'd splash in all the waves.
Oh, I wish I was an orange octopus.

Thanks to Tricia for sharing some additional verses that she wrote:

Oh, I wish I was an oval octopus.
Oh, I wish I was an oval octopus.
Oh I'd wave my lovely legs,
And I'd splash in all the waves.
Oh, I wish I was an oval octopus.

Oh, I wish I was an orange orangutan.
Oh, I wish I was an orange orangutan.
Oh I'd swing from all the trees,
And I'd pick at all the fleas.
Oh, I wish I was an orange orangutan.

Oh, I wish I was an old wise owl.
Oh, I wish I was an old wise owl.
Oh I'd sleep all through the day,
And I'd eat the mice in the hay.
Oh, I wish I was an old wise owl.

Oh, I wish I was an odd ostrich.
Oh, I wish I was an odd ostrich.
Oh I'd run really fast,
And I'd sleep in the grass.
Oh, I wish I was an odd ostrich.

Oh, I wish I was an ocean oyster.
Oh, I wish I was an ocean oyster.
Oh I'd live in a shell,
And I'd grow a pearl so well.
Oh, I wish I was an ocean oyster.
