Verse
E
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
B7
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
E
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
E7 A
And sang to a small guitar,
E
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
A E
What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are,
A E
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"
[Verse 2]
E
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
B7
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
E
But what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
E7 A
To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
E
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
A E
With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose,
A E
With a ring at the end of his nose.
[Verse 3]
E
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
B7
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
E
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
A
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
E7 E
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
A E
They danced by the light of the moon, the moon,
A E
They danced by the light of the moon.
