He’s Oxford the Octopus, proud to be an octopus.
Friends say he’s a smart fellow.
He can change his colors when he’s happy or mad
To red, black or yellow.
Chorus
Oo-wee, ga-zoo-wee, He’s Oxford the Octopus.
Octo-oo-wee, octo-goo-wee, He’s Oxford the Octopus.
Well Octo means eight, and that’s really great.
He’s an eight-armed invertebrate, oo-wee!
He’s Oxford the Octopus, proud to be an Octopus.
So many things that he can do
With his eight long arms and suction cups.
He climbs, creeps, crawls and catches food.
Chorus
Oo-wee, ga-zoo-wee, He’s Oxford the Octopus.
Octo-oo-wee, octo-goo-wee, He’s Oxford the Octopus.
He didn’t go to college, but he has a lot of knowledge.
For living in the sea, he’s as clever as can be!
He’s Oxford the Octopus, proud to be an octopus
And smarter than most people think.
He can be any shape he wants, squeeze in between the rocks,
Or disappear . . . in a cloud of ink.
Chorus
Oo-wee, ga-zoo-wee, He’s Oxford the Octopus.
Octo-oo-wee, octo-goo-wee, He’s Oxford the Octopus.
Oo-wee, ga-zoo-wee, He’s Oxford the Octopus.
Octo-oo-wee, octo-goo-wee, He’s Oxford the Octopus.
He’s Oxford the Octopus. He’s Oxford the Octopus.
