Loving me with my shows off
means loving my long brown legs,
sweet dears, as good as spoons;

Like the banker at Bankers Trust.
I wouldn't ask to be president

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,
