Sesame Street - Octopus Blues lyrics

Well an octopus' life isn't easy I want to tell you why Too many arms to wave hello with Too many to wave good-bye Oh no, no, no I just don't know which arms to use I've got the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 blues I took a fish on a date to the movies She said, "Honey put your arms around me tight" I said, "By the time I put all my arms around you Gonna be sometime next Wednesday night! " Oh no, no, no Life is just full of tough news I've got the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 blues I've got trouble with my girlfriend among other things She's an octopus and she says to me "Honey, please buy me 8 diamond rings!" Oh no, no, no Life is full of tough news I've got the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 blues I said the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 blues The octopus blues
