Lyrics
1. Three little kittens they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
“Oh, mammy dear!
We sadly fear,
Our mittens we have lost.”
“What! lost your mittens, you naughty kittens,
Then you shall have no pie.”
Miew, miew, miew, miew.
2. Three little kittens they found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
“Oh, mammy dear!
See here, see here!
Our mittens we have found.”
“What! Found your mittens, you little kittens,
Then you shall have some pie.”
Purr, purr, purr, rr-rr.
3. The three little kittens put on their mittens
And soon ate up the pie,
“Oh, mammy dear!
We greatly fear,
Our mittens we have soiled.”
“What! soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens,”
Then they began to sigh,
Miew, miew, miew, miew,
Miew, miew, miew.
4. The three little kittens they washed their mittens,
And hung them up to dry.
“Oh, mammy dear!
Look here, look here!
Our mittens we have washed.”
“What! washed your mittens, you darling kittens,
But I smell a rat close by.
Hush, hush! miew, miew,
Miew, miew, miew.”
