about

Based on Edward Lear's Owl and The Pussycat

lyrics

Whenever we dance together I can’t remember the last I was end of my tether oh no,
And I hope forever we’re birds of a feather cause everyday I love you that much more,
The sails are up the wind is breezy got enough money and honey to keep sweet,
That this old boat can hold the both of us it seems so easy,
As we flow, like a poem,
No no no we don’t got no port of call and neither of us nautical so all in all it’s cool that we can navigate this boat at all,
These serene scenes, through these pea green beams are all we need
And I hope, I hope you know,
I may be an owl but baby when you howl you give me goose bumps
And I hope, I hope it’s so,
That my twits and two’s will do for you to dance to under many moons to come

I know this guy, this pig, this swine,
A silver smith, a friend of mine,
Dwells upon an island not so far form the horizon line,
What do you say we coast, for a year and a day at most to find a ring,
And by the day you’ll tell me tales as we sail away to sea,
All of the trouble and strife of feline life explain it all to me,
And I will take you in my wings,
Your purr the perfect rhythm while I sing,
And once the ring’s been bought my love,
I’ll slip it upon your paw my love,
I know a good spot to tie the knot,
Beyond the trees and high above the bay,
Where I’ll look at you and say
That I hope, I hope you know,
I may be an owl but baby when you howl you give me goose bumps,
And I hope, I hope it’s so,
That my twits and two’s will do for you to dance too under many moons to come

And if the journey’s rough and nature makes it tough for us to ride the waves
I’ll have faith,
And if the storm is freak in size and water leaks inside I’ll try to save us from the wind and rain,
And if this vessel is cast upon the rocks I’ll wrestle to fasten up the cracks,
To keep us in tact,
And if we’re doomed to fall into the blue I hope to hell there’s time for me, to sing to you,
That I hope, I hope you know,
I may be an owl but baby when you howl you give me goose bumps,
And I hope, I hope it’s so,
That wherever we go together, we can dance forever and ever beneath the moon
