The octopus says "Hi" | The octopus says "Hi" | ||
I say | I say "How do you do?" | ||
He's quite the gentleman | |||
To give me eight salutes | |||
I'm at home here in the briny | I'm at home here in the briny | ||
Since I've found out you don't want me | Since I've found out you don't want me | ||
The crew thought I was nuts | |||
Jumping | Jumping overboard | ||
But what'd I have to lose? | But what'd I have to lose? | ||
Except pains inside my | Except pains inside my gourd | ||
And pains inside my heart | And pains inside my heart | ||
They wouldn't let me be | They wouldn't let me be | ||
Now I'm better off | Now I'm better off | ||
A captain of the sea | |||
And I'm at home here in the briny | And I'm at home here in the briny | ||
Since I've found out you don't want me | Since I've found out you don't want me | ||
Yeah, I'm at home here in the briny | Yeah, I'm at home here in the briny | ||
Since I've found out you don't want me | |||
I went to schools | |||
I went to ministry | |||
But they don't match the soothing of the sea | |||
I'm back where I began my primal life | |||
I am dissolved into the murky brine | |||
(You wanted me to be a practical man, | |||
And now I see how things were) | |||
And I'm at home here in the briny | |||
Since I've found out you don't want me</poem> | Since I've found out you don't want me</poem> | ||

The octopus says "Hi" | The octopus says "Hi" | ||
I say " | I say to him "What's up?" | ||
I go to bump his fist | |||
But he got too much love | |||
I'm at home here in the briny | I'm at home here in the briny | ||
Since I've found out you don't want me | Since I've found out you don't want me | ||
My mates thought I was nuts | |||
Jumping | Jumping off the edge | ||
But what'd I have to lose? | But what'd I have to lose? | ||
Except pains inside my | Except pains inside my head | ||
And pains inside my heart | And pains inside my heart | ||
They wouldn't let me be | They wouldn't let me be | ||
Now I'm better off | Now I'm better off | ||
Yeah, I've been set free | |||
And I'm at home here in the briny | And I'm at home here in the briny | ||
Since I've found out you don't want me | Since I've found out you don't want me | ||
Yeah, I'm at home here in the briny | Yeah, I'm at home here in the briny | ||
Since I've found out you don't want me | Since I've found out you don't want me</poem> | ||
