The Owl and The Pussycat
The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat.
They brought 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,
"Oh lovely Pussy,
Oh Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are.
You are, you are,
What a beautiful Pussy you are."
The Pussy said to the Owl,
"You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
Oh, let us be married,
Too long have we tarried,
But what shall we do for a ring?"
So, they sailed away
For a year and a day
To the land where the Bong-tree grows.
And there in the 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.
I can't remember who wrote it.
