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, mee-ow."
Three little kittens,
They found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
"Oh, mother dear,
See here, see here,
Our mittens we have found."
"What! Found your mittens,
You darling kittens!
Then you shall have some pie."
"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."
Three little kittens,
Put on their mittens,
And soon ate up the pie;
"Oh,mother dear,
We greatly fear
Our mittens we have soiled."
"What! Soiled your mittens,
You naughty kittens!"
And they began to sigh
"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."
Three little kittens,
They washed their mittens,
And hung them out to dry;
"Oh, mother dear,
Look here, look here,
Our mittens we have washed."
"What! Washed your mittens,
You're such good kittens.
I smell a rat close by!"
"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."
