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!”
