lyrics

chorus:
i got a little tiny octopus
he's trying hard to be anonymous
he says he's just a cool rhinoceros but
that is a lie
i don't know why
he hides

eight legs, and all of them are running to a
safe place below the kitchen sink. he's got a
good friend who doesn't understand but wants to
give him a hand
when he's scared

is it the cat who's always prowling round the
front door and wants to get inside? is it the
loud noise from just across the way? oh how i
wish he would say
but he's scared

CHORUS

please come out and
talk about what's
got you so upset
is it time to
change your mind?
(uh uh) oh, not yet

i don't know what's gotten into him it's
not like the way he used to be. i wish that
“BANG - BANG”
make some room for me because i
don't want to see
why i'm scared

CHORUS
