Reading ModeHE 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 moonabove,
Andsang 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 wehave
tarriedBut what shall we do for a ring?"
They sailed away for ayear and aday
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
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 upon mince and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon,
Andhand 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.
