[Verse 1]
On the pier at half past two
Thought I’d just be passing through
Then I saw this wobbly lump
Little purple dude do a spinning jump
Eight legs flying everywhere
One on me
One in the air
Tried to land like he was tough
Slipped on his own ink—oh that had to hurt enough
[Chorus]
Spinning octopus
Doing that jump
Looking like jelly with a speed bump
I was doubled over
Couldn’t even stand
Clutching my stomach with both my hands
Spinning octopus
You’re my new show
Funniest fail in the whole wide ocean
Though
Awkward as heck
But I can’t get enough
Of that spinning
Spinning octopus jump (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Kids all pointing
Phones held high
He just blinked like “did I fly?”
Gave a shrug with every limb
Like “ta-da
That went just as planned” (oh yeah)
I was gasping
Tears in my eyes
Seagulls judging from the sky
He took a bow
Then one more bump
Guess some folks never learn from the first bad jump
[Chorus]
Spinning octopus
Doing that jump
Looking like jelly with a speed bump
I was doubled over
Couldn’t even stand
Clutching my stomach with both my hands
Spinning octopus
You’re my new show
Funniest fail in the whole wide ocean
Though
Awkward as heck
But I can’t get enough
Of that spinning
Spinning octopus jump (woo!)
[Bridge]
If you’re feeling down
Kind of stuck
Think of eight legs tripping on luck
Laugh so hard till it hurts a bit
That’s the kind of medicine I live for
This is it
[Chorus]
Spinning octopus
Doing that jump
Looking like jelly with a speed bump
I was doubled over
Couldn’t even stand
Clutching my stomach with both my hands
Spinning octopus
You’re my favorite flop
Never ever change
Never ever stop
Awkward and awesome
That’s the stuff
Give me that spinning
Spinning octopus jump
