The Owl and the Pussycat (Newer Version)
The owl and the pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful boat with a colorful key
They sailed away for many a day
Until they found a land that was far away
They landed on a shore so white
And saw a sight that was quite a sight
A land full of candies and sweets
With rivers of chocolate and lollipops to eat
The owl and the pussycat danced with glee
For they had found a place to be
They ate and played all day and night
In their land of sweets that was pure delight
But one day they woke up with a fright
For their boat had floated out of sight
They looked around with worried eyes
But found a way to make new ties
They made a new boat with candies and treats
And sailed back home with happy beats
Now they tell tales of their sweet adventure
And their boat with a key that made them rapture.
The Owl and the Pussycat
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!
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,
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.”
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,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
