Octopus Face

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Kyle sat down so proud Napkin folded neat Silver spoon, white plate Little rhythm in his seat He saw that bowl come by Dark eyes, curled and slick Then his whole face changed Like he bit a lemon quick [Pre-Chorus] He leaned back hard Brows up high He stared at the plate Then he said, “Oh my” [Chorus] Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus Squint, twist, gulp, then stare Like he cannot believe what’s there Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus [Verse 2] Tentacles on the fork He froze, then braced Tried to look real cool But it hit his face Cheeks all tight Mouth went thin He took one bite And the chaos grinned The whole table laughed He looked betrayed Like the sea itself Had made the wrong buffet [Pre-Chorus] He tried to nod Try to play it fine But the look came back Every single time [Chorus] Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus Squint, twist, gulp, then stare Like he cannot believe what’s there Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus [Bridge] He said, “I swear I tried” With a mouth half-full Then he made that face again Soft, sour, and cruel Brass went up Strings went wild Kyle met the sea And it won in style [Chorus] Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus Squint, twist, gulp, then stare Like he cannot believe what’s there Kyle makes an octopus face when he eats octopus
