OCTUPUS CLAWS

One day, swimming in the ocean,
There appeared a beautiful sight.
Into view in an elegant motion,
With the wisdom of the sea in her eyes.

Nec min' she was heading right for me,
Threatening, and a hangry growl,
Spilled ink; there's a story being written,
Nothing left to do but howl:

I got caught in the octupus claws,
I got caught in the octupus.

Eight arms, wrapped around me,
I'm awake just enough to cry:
Help Me! I should be screaming,
But I'm right where I want to be.

Nec min' she was heading right for me,
Threatening, and a hangry growl,
Spilled ink; there's a story being written,
Nothing left to do but howl:

(Don't forget to read the fine-print;
You might get caught in the octupus clause)

I got caught in the octupus claws,
I got caught in the octupus.

I got caught in the octupus claws,
I got caught in the octupus.
