said the squid to the octopus
The squid and the octopus
Both got on the local bus
headed to the home of the shark
got off the bus, it was well after dark
I'm scared said the octopus
to the squid who made fuss
Let's just be both on our way
we'll talk to the shark another day
Oh don't you fret, I'm sure he'll like me
we'll ring the bell and ask politely
Ding Dong went the bell
Inside the house there was a yell
Gosh oh golly who could it be
The shark did think so thoughtfully
He opened the door to his surprise
a squid and octopus side by side
The octopus stood and started to speak
but the shark didn't listen as he started to eat
The moral of the story, listen to the truth
you can't go changing what you do
you are what you are and that's the way its gotta be
just take from the shark because he is me
