 The Owl and the Pussy cat went to Sea
|
 I had this amazing idea that before
I let you all loose on the side of
Snowdonia that we should have a little song. It's
been ages since I paid a visit to "Grandma Mary
over in Nursery Land" so off I trotted and returned
with this little gem.
It's about an Owl
and a Pussy Cat do any of you know which one I
mean?
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat 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:
"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my
love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are, you are!
What a
beautiful Pussy you are!"
Pussy said to the
Owl, "You elegant fowl,
How charmingly sweet 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 ringat
the end of his
nose.
"Dear Pig, 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 theTurkey
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,
The moon, the moon,
They
danced by the light of the
moon.
