The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
An owl and a cat travelled out onto the sea.
Say it as: The OWL and the PU-ssy CAT went to SEA
In a beautiful pea-green boat:
In a lovely boat painted green like peas.
Say it as: In a BEAU-ti-ful PEA-GREEN BOAT:
They took some honey, and plenty of money
They packed honey to eat and lots of money to spend.

Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The money was folded inside one five-pound banknote.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,
The owl looked up at the stars in the sky.
Say it as: The OWL LOOKED UP to the STARS a-BOVE,
And sang to a small guitar,
And sang a song, playing a small guitar.
Say it as: And SANG to a SMALL gui-TAR,
“O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
“My lovely Pussy-cat, my love,” he sang.
Say it as: “O LOVE-ly PU-ssy, O PU-ssy, my LOVE,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
How beautiful you are.
Say it as: WHAT a BEAU-ti-ful PU-ssy you ARE,
You are,
You are.
Say it as: You ARE,
You are!
You are!
Say it as: You ARE!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!”
How beautiful you are!”
Say it as: WHAT a BEAU-ti-ful PU-ssy you ARE!”
