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 sang to a small guitar,
'Oh lovely Pussy, oh Pussy my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are
You are
You are.
What a beautiful Pussy you are.'

Then Pussy said, 'Owl, you elegant fowl, how wonderfully sweetly 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 Bong tree grows
And there in a wood a piggy wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose
His nose
His nose.
With a ring at the end of his nose.

'Dear Pig are you willing, to sell for one shilling, you ring?' Said 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 then hand in hand, by the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the Moon
The Moon
The Moon.
They danced by the light of the Moon.
