[Verse 1]
G D/F# Em A long, long time ago Am C Em D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D The ocean had some things to show, the octopus could make me smile G D/F# Em With three small hearts that never rest Am C Em C D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D And copper blood inside its chest, the strangest creature living all the while Em Am Em Am But currents made me stop and shiver, with every fact that they delivered C G/B Am C D Skin that sees the sunlight, it slips through cracks at midnight G D/F# Em C D I can't remember if I cried when I learned its arms all think inside G D/F# Em Something shifted deep in pride C D G The day I learned about octopi
[Chorus 1]
G C G D Bye, bye don’t eat octopus pie G C G D Smarter than your neighbor and too cool to fry G C G D Recognizes faces as the tourists walk by Em* A7* Em* D7 Singin’ please don’t eat octopus pie, please don’t eat octopus pie
[Verse 2]
G Am Did you write the book of brains C Am Em D And do you solve those puzzle games if the zookeeper tells you so? G D/F# Em Do you believe in sleight of hand Am7 C Em A7 D Can camouflage obey command and can you teach me how to slip and go? Em* D* Em* D* Well I know that it can open jars, I know it travels near and far C G/B Am C D7 Escaping from the tank, the keepers drew a blank G D/F#Em Am C I was a lonely curious teen, learning facts that sounded so obscene G D/F# Em C D7 G C G D Like gut through brain in a donut scene, the day I learned about octopi, I was singin’
[Chorus 2]
G C G D Bye, bye don’t eat octopus pie G C G D Smarter than your neighbor and too cool to fry G C G D Recognizes faces as the tourists walk by Em* A7* Em* D7 Singin’ please don’t eat octopus pie, please don’t eat octopus pie
[Verse 3]
G Am Now for decades we’ve been on our own C Am Em D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D The mysteries of the deep unknown, but science brought the stories back to me G D/F# Em From argonauts that hitch a ride Am7 C Em A7 D On jellyfish through the ocean tide, to mimicry with perfect mastery Em* D* Em* D* Oh, the wolfi octopus is small, the giant Pacific towers tall C G/B A7 C D7 A bus beneath the sea, a titan roaming free G D/F# Em Am C And tales of coconut shell beds, and RNA re-written, read G D/F# Em C D7 G C G D They all came rushing through my head, the day I learned about octopi, we were singin’
[Chorus 3]
G C G D Bye, bye don’t eat octopus pie G C G D Has a donut-shaped brain where its lunch passes by G C G D Smarter than a dog and too clever to fry Em* A7* Em* D7 Singin’ please don’t eat octopus pie, yeah please don’t eat octopus pie
