Onyx the octopus has 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 arms - and those arms can do LOTS of things, like shake, run, straighten, bend, tug, and hug! Kids will love learning about octopuses as they move along with Onyx - and learn to count!

Says Laurie:

After years of requests from kids, I have finally written a song about an octopus! I have included movement, counting, octopus facts - and the word β€œcephalopod!” I hope the families who hear it fall in love with Onyx, just like I have.

Lyrics:

Onyx the octopus

Has 9 brains and 3 hearts

Onyx the Octopus

Has 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 arms

And those arms can SHAKE

They can shake

They can shake shake shake!

Onyx the octopus

Is really, super smart

Onyx the Octopus

Has 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 arms

And those arms can STRAIGHTEN and BEND

They can straighten and bend

They can straighten and bend

Onyx the octopus

Is a cephalopod

Onyx the Octopus

Has 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 arms

And those arms can RUN (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)

They can run (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)

They can run run run!

Onyx the octopus

Has many special parts

Onyx the Octopus

Can tug tug tug

Or shrug shrug shrug

But what I like best

Is a snuggly hug

From those

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 arms!
