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 to the stars above,
And sang
to a small guitar,
"O lovely
Pussycat! O Pussycat, my love,
What a
beautiful Pussycat you are, you are, you are,
What a
beautiful Pussycat you are."
Pussycat
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,
They
danced by the light of the moon.
