(TEXT EDWARD LEAR, 1812 – 1888)
THE OWL & THE PUSSY-CAT WENT TO SEA IN A BEAUTIFUL PEA-GREEN BOAT
THEY TOOK SOME HONEY, AND PLENTY OF MONEY WRAPPED IN A FIVE-POUND NOTE
THE OWL LOOKED UP TO THE STARS ABOVE AND SANG TO A SMALL GUITAR
O LOVELY PUSSY, PUSSY MY LOVE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PUSSY YOU ARE
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PUSSY YOU ARE
PUSSY SAID TO THE OWL, YOU ELEGANT FOWL HOW CHARMINGLY SWEET YOU SING
O 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
WITH A RING AT THE END OF HIS NOSE
DEAR PIGGY ARE YOU WILLING TO SELL FOR ONE SHILLING YOUR RING? SAID THE 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 HAND IN HAND ON THE EDGE OF THE SAND THEY DANCED BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
THEY DANCED BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
