Verse 1:
  C majorC
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
              G7G7
  In a beautiful pea-green boat,

They took some honey, and plenty of money,
               C majorC
  Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,
    C7C7         FF
  And sang to a small guitar,
          C majorC
"O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
      FF          C majorC
  What a beautiful Pussy you are, you are,
    FF          C majorC
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

Verse 2:
   C majorC
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
              G7G7
  How charmingly sweet you sing!

O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
               C majorC
  But what shall we do for a ring?"

They sailed away, for a year and a day,
     C7C7            FF
  To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
           C majorC
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
     FF           C majorC
  With a ring at the end of his nose, his nose,
     FF           C majorC
  With a ring at the end of his nose.

Verse 3:
   C majorC
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
                 G7G7
  Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."

So they took it away, and were married next day
                 C majorC
  By the Turkey who lives on the hill.

They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
                 FF
  Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
  C7C7           C majorC
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
    FF             C majorC
  They danced by the light of the moon, the moon,
   FF             C majorC
They danced by the light of the moon.
