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 ten-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.'

Pussy said to the Owl:
'You elegant fowl' how charmingly sweet you sing
O let us be married, too long have we 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.

'Dear Pig are you willing to sell for a 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 (*soya) mince and slices of quince
Which they ate with a runcible spoon,
And hand in hand on the edge of the sand
They danced to the light of the moon,
The moon, the moon
They danced to the light of the moon.
