Unused Octopus's Garden lyrics

I was looking for the unused lyrics from the Let It Be sessions of Octopus's Garden, and was surprised nobody had written them all out besides the "it would be nice / a paradise" in the first verse. So I found a compilation of when they played Octopus's Garden and wrote down what I heard

I’d like to be 

Underneath the sea

In an octopus’s garden (or "octopussy's garden")

In the shade (also "by the shade," "by the sea," "in the sea")

/

It would be nice

A paradise

In an octopus’s garden

In the shade

/

My friends would be there

Frank, Bill and Sir

In an octopus’s garden

In the shade

/

[Unused bridge by George]

It really would be nice

It really would be nice

/

[To the tune of “we would sing and dance around”]

So come with me

And we will see

Fishes of every description

/

For every time I see him

He always says hello

And come on inside

/

Every time I see him

He always says hello

/

He puts his many arms around me

Everywhere and tries to charm me

But I’ve gotta go (Ringo laughs when he says this, and other takes have them just end it at "he puts his many arms around me everywhere and tries to charm me" without this last line)

/

He said come in with me and have a bite to eat

I said what would you like he said “I like pigs feet”

/

I’d like to be 

Underneath the sea

In an octopus’s garden

By the shade
