I
The
Owl and the Pussy-cat 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 Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You
are,
You
are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'
II
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 lived 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.
