  *++Lyrics:|\\
"To whit!" says the old gray owl\\
In the sycamore tree,\\
"To woo!" says the old gray owl\\
He's a speakin' to me,\\
He sait "To whit!"\\
He said "To woo!"\\
And that's what I propose to do\\
And say, sir, who will woo with you\\
By the sycamore tree.\\
\\
The owl said 'Woo Sue!'\\
By the sycamore tree,\\
The owl said 'woo do!'\\
And I know he meant me,\\
You're a wise old fowl,\\
Close your eyes old owl,\\
Don't you peep at me\\
For you surely see\\
I'll woo my sue\\
By the sycamore tree.\\
//(repeat chorus)//\\
\\
"To woo!" says the old gray owl\\
In the sycamore tree,\\
"To whit!" says the old gray owl\\
He's a speakin' to me,\\
He said "To woo!"\\
He sait "To whit!"\\
And that's all I can make of it;\\
you can't talk owl a little bit\\
By the sycamore tree.\\
