DLTK's Educational Activities for Kids 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

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.
