Verse
A#
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
F7
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
A#
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
A#7 D#
And sang to a small guitar,
A#
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
D# A#
What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are,
D# A#
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
[Verse 2]
A#
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
F7
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
A#
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
A#7 D#
To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
A#
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
D# A#
With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose,
D# A#
With a ring at the end of his nose.
[Verse 3]
A#
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
F7
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
A#
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
D#
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
A#7 A#
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
D# A#
They danced by the light of the moon, the moon,
D# A#
They danced by the light of the moon.
