Notes:

1: The Owl and the Pussy-cat. The verse tells the sentimental and bizarre love story of the Owl and the Pussy-cat. The music is in a perky 5-8 time and mischieviously quotes a number of suitable themes on the way.
1. 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!"
