The
Owl and the Pussycat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat They took some honey and plenty of money Wrapped up in a five-pound note The Owl looked up the stars above and he sang to a small guitar "O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love What a beautiful Pussy you are You are, You are What a beautiful Pussy you are." Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl How charmingly sweet you sing O let us be married Too long we have tarried But what shall we do for a ring?" They sailed away for a year and a day To the land where the bong-tree grows And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood With a ring at the end of his nose His nose, His nose With a ring at the end of his nose |
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?" Said the Piggy,"I will." So they took it away and were married next day By the turkey who lives on the hill They dined on mince and slices of quince Which they ate with a runcible spoon And hand in hand on the edge of the sand They danced by the light of the moon The moon The moon And they danced by the light of the moon |
