lyrics

Hey, Octavia A, she’s saving the day, she’s saving the day
Scandinavians say, “hej hej”
In Italian, “via” means “way”
Make way for Octavia A
La la la la la la la la …

She is a secret, never tell
She’s water in a wishing well
The pomegranate and the bell
Look at that Alice through the glass
She has no malice, only sass
She’s never callous, never crass

And if you stand her in the sunlight, she grows
And if you move her to the moonlight, she glows

Hey, Octavia A, she’s saving the day, she’s saving the day
Scandinavians say, “hej hej”
In Italian, “via” means “way”
Make way for Octavia A
La la la la la la la la …

I hope she never hates her hair
I hope her feet are often bare
I hope she fares well at the fairs
I hope she always wants to read
I hope she has all that she needs
I hope she’s always planting seeds

And if you stand her in the sunlight, she grows
And if you move her to the moonlight, she glows

Hey, Octavia A, she’s saving the day, she’s saving the day
Scandinavians say, “hej hej”
In Italian, “via” means “way”
Make way for Octavia A
La la la la la la la la …
