THE FUNNY OCTOPUS

By Albert Bigelow Paine

A jolly old octopus lived in the sea,

With a hey-diddle hi-diddle dum;

And the funniest sort of a fellow was he,

This jolly old octopus under the sea,

With a mouth where the top of his head ought to be,

To swallow the divers that come —

This jolly old octopus under the sea,

With a hey-diddle hi-diddle dum.
