Burl Ives - The owl and the pussycat

The ^COwl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green ^G7boat,

Wrapped up in a five-pound ^Cnote. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And ^C7sang to a small gui^Ftar, "O lovely Pussy! O ^CPussy, my love, What a ^Fbeautiful Pussy you ^Care, you are, What a ^Fbeautiful Pussy you ^Care!"

Pussy ^Csaid to the Owl, "You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you ^G7sing!

But what shall we do for a ^Cring?" They sailed away, for a year and a day, To the ^C7land where the Bong-Tree ^Fgrows And there in a wood a ^CPiggy-wig stood With a ^Fring at the end of his ^Cnose, his nose, With a ^Fring at the end of his ^Cnose.

"Dear ^CPig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I ^G7will."

By the Turkey who lives on the ^Chill. They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible ^Fspoon; And ^C7hand in hand, on the ed^Cge of the sand, They ^Fdanced by the light of the ^Cmoon, the moon, They ^Fdanced by the light of the ^Cmoon.
