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 he sang to a small guitar
"Oh lovely pussy, oh pussy, my love, what a wonderful pussy you are, you are
What a wonderful pussy you are."

Pussy said to the owl, "You elegant fowl, how charmingly sweet you sing
Oh 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 palm tree grows
And there in the wood, a piggly-wig stood, with a ring at the end of his nose, his nose
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 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
They danced by the light of the moon
