C The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
G7 In a beautiful pea-green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money,
C Wrapped up in a five-pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above,
C7 F And sang to a small guitar,
C "O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
F C What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are,
F C What a beautiful Pussy you are!" [Verse 2]
C Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
G7 How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
C But what shall we do for a ring?" They sailed away, for a year and a day,
C7 F To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
C And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
F C With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose,
F C With a ring at the end of his nose. [Verse 3]
C "Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
G7 Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will." So they took it away, and were married next day
C By the Turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
F Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
C7 C And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
F C They danced by the light of the moon, the moon,
F C They danced by the light of the moon.
