Song Description

Golfer who does not have enough hands to enjoy all that surrounds him

Lyrics

[v]
BEFORE I SLIP INTO LIFE'S FINAL STAGE
DECAY AND TERROR THAT DEFINE OLD AGE
I HAVE A REQUEST, IT'S NO BIG FUSS
I WANNA GO OUT AS AN OCTOPUS
I WANNA GO OUT AS AN OCTOPUS

[CH:]
WITH AN ARM AROUND AN IRISH BLOND, ONE ON ANNA'S BAR
ONE TO GRIP POP'S STOCKS & BONDS, ONE ON A FAT CIGAR
AN ARM TO BET ON US TO WIN, LET'S PUFF A LITTLE POT
AN ARM TO HUG THE CUDDLE TWINS, STILL ONE TO POUR A SHOT
LET'S RAISE A TOAST TO ST. PAT'S GHOST & ALL THE ANGELS HERE
LET'S LIFT OUR HANDS FOR UNCLE SAM, LIFT 'EM UP & CHEER
AN ARM AROUND YOU MY FRIEND, I'D LOVE TO LIVE IT ALL AGAIN
WE'LL COVER ALL EIGHT DEADLY SINS AS ONLY AN OCTOPUS......CAN!

[v]
PLEASE HELP ME GO OUT WITH STYLE
WHILE I FLASH A RYE INSPIRED SMILE
I HAVE A REQUEST, IT'S NO BIG FUSS
I WANNA GO OUT AS AN OCTOPUS
I WANNA GO OUT AS AN OCTOPUS

[CH:]
WITH TWO ARMS TO SWING AN IRON, AN ONE TO STEER ME CART
ONE TO PLACE THE FLAG BACK IN, THREE TO TALLY UP ME CARD
A DRINK, A LIGHT, A LADY CADDIE, OH I'VE LOST CONTROL
I CARRY HER ON ALL EIGHT LIMBS, UP TO THE NINETEENTH HOLE
LET'S RAISE A TOAST, DRINK AND BOAST- NOW ALL YOU HACKERS CHEER!
LIFT OUR HANDS TO JACK AND SAM - AND ALL YA TIGER'S HERE!
AN ARM AROUND YOU MY FRIEND, I'D LOVE TO LIVE IT ALL AGAIN
I HAVE A REQUEST, IT'S NO BIG FUSS, I HAVE A REQUEST, IT'S NO BIG FUSS
I WANNA GO OUT AS AN OCTOPUS, I WANNA GO OUT AS AN OCTOPUS
I WANNA GO OUT AS AN OCTOPUS, I WANNA GO OUT AS AN OCTOPUS
