Lyrics
Carlos: Henry the Octopus

Lives down in the deep blue sea

Henry the Octopus

He's a friend to you and me

Henry has a great big band

Playing on the ocean sand

He'll sing you all an octopus song

He'd like you to sing along

Henry the Octopus

Lives down in the deep blue sea

Henry the Octopus

He's a friend to you and me

Henry loved to cook for his friends

His marvellous talent, well it had no end

He would bake, roast and fry

His favourite dish is seaweed pie

Henry the Octopus

Lives down in the deep blue sea

Henry the Octopus

He's a friend to you and me

Henry has a happy smile

He'd like you all to stay for a while

He'll put on his shoes and his eight-legged pants

And show you all the tentacle dance

Henry the Octopus

Lives down in the deep blue sea

Henry the Octopus

He's a friend to you and me
