In case anyone ever needs it (yeah, right ) my daughter translated "Octopus's Garden" (from the Muppets) into Latin.

Now, if I could just pronounce it all, I would sing it for you.

Original:
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been, in his octopus's garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see an octopus's garden with me
We would be warm below the storm in our little hide-a-way beneath the waves
Resting our heads on the sea bed in an octopus's garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade
We would shout and swim about the coral that lies beneath the waves
Oh what joy, for every girl and boy, knowing they're happy and they're safe
We would be so happy, you and me, no one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden with you

Latin Version:
mihi licat sub mari in horto octopi in umbra esse
sciens quo nos iti simus nos ad partem interiorem in suo horto octopi in umbra invitet
meos amicos rogem ut veniant et mecum hortum octopi spectent
nos calidi sub tempestate in nostro parvo latibulo sub undis simus
nostra capita in imo mari ponamus dum in horto octopi prope cavernam sumus
canemus et huc illucque saltemus quia scimus nos posse inveniri
mihi licat sub mari in horto octopi in umbra esse
conclamemus et nemus circum curalium quod sub undis iacet
O gaudium quisque puellae puerique est sciens se laetus et tutus esse.
tam laeti simus quia nemo adest ut nobis imperet quid faciendum nobis sit
mihi licat sub mari in horto octopi tecum esse
