Three little kittens

They lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

"Oh, mother dear,

We sadly fear

Our mittens we have lost."


"What? lost your mittens,

You naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie."

"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."

"No, you shall have no pie."


The three little kittens

They found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

"Oh, mother dear,

See here, see here,

Our mittens we have found!"


"Put on your mittens,

You silly mittens,

And you shall have some pie."

"Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r,

Oh, let us have some pie."


The three little kittens

Put on their mittens,

And soon ate up the pie.

"Oh, mother dear,

We greatly fear

Purr mittens we have soiled."


"What? soiled your mittens,

You naughty kittens!"

Then they began to sigh,

"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."

Then they began to sigh.


The three little kittens

They washed their mittens,

And hung them out to dry;

"Oh, mother dear,

See here, see here,

Our mittens we have washed."


"What! washed your mittens,

Then you're good kittens,

But I smell a rat close by."

"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

We smell a rat close by."
