Three Little Kittens

Three little kittens lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

O mother dear,

We sadly fear

That we have lost our mittens.


"Lost your mittens!

You naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie."

Mew, mew, mew.

"No, you shall have no pie."

Mew, mew, mew.


Three little kittens found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

O mother dear,

See here, see here!

See! we have found our mittens.


"What! found your mittens,

You little kittens,

Then you may have some pie."

Purr, purr, purr;

Oh, let us have the pie.

Purr, purr, purr.


The three little kittens put on their mittens,

And soon ate up the pie.

O mother dear,

We greatly fear

That we have soiled our mittens.


"Soiled your mittens!

You naughty kittens!"

Then they began to sigh,

Mew, mew, mew.

Then they began to sigh,

Mew, mew, mew.


The three little kittens washed their mittens.

And hung them out to dry.

O mother dear,

Look here, look here!

See! we have washed our mittens.


"Washed your mittens!

Oh, you're good kittens.

But I smell a rat close by.

"Hush! Hush!" Mew, mew,

We smell a rat near by.

Mew, mew, mew.
