Oliver's One-Man Band

Oliver Oscar Octopus
Is stirring the sea and the sand
Ollie plays all of the instruments
In “Oliver’s One-Man Band”

Oliver’s tooting a tuba
And crashing away on his drum
Oliver’s plucking a banjo
As all of his lobster friends hum

Oliver bashes the cymbals
While sawing the violin strings
It sounds like a heavenly choir
When Ollie the Octopus sings

This song’s his famous finale,
A tune called “The Tuna Got Canned”
Now there’s a rousing ovation
As Ollie’s eight arms get a hand!
