[Lyric] Cindy and the Octopus (Peter Himmelman)

[Intro]
Now, you don't know me, but I'm an octopus
I live at the bottom of the ocean, and I'm pretty nice
At least that's what Cindy says
Cindy, Cindy

[Verse 1]
Cindy went down to the seashore with a note that she wrote with a crayon
She put that note in a bottle, then she put that bottle in her hand
She put that bottle in her hand
She threw that bottle as hard as she could, and she threw pretty good
That bottle was floating on the water like a piece of wood

[Verse 2]
Now the first to find himself the bottle was a long-whiskered, dark brown seal
He put the whole thing in his mouth and said, "this don't taste like my kinda meal"
Yeah, this don't taste like my kinda meal

[Verse 3]
Now the next one to find the bottle was an octopus who could read (That sucker could read!)
Yeah, he said to himself, "this is real good news indeed"
[Verse 4]
Now the note said, I'm a girl named Cindy
I'm as lonesome as I could be
I'm just sittin' on the edge of the water
Just waitin' for some company
Waitin' for some company

[Verse 5]
And the octopus never swam so swiftly before
He was headed for the shore thinking, "Cindy won't be lonesome anymore" (Girl, you will never be lonesome)

[Hook]
Cindy, Cindy
Cindy, Cindy
Cindy, Cindy

[Verse 6]
Now Cindy and the octopus played in the afternoon sun
When the octopus put his tentacles around her, her loneliness was done, yeah, her loneliness was done
And they saw each other so many times that day
What can I say? Cindy and the octopus are friends in every way
Cindy and the octopus are friends to this very day
Cindy's hair is red, and the octopus bald and gray

[Outro]
Cindy, talkin' 'bout a girl named Cindy
