Three Little Kittens Lyrics

Three little kittens, they lost their mittens
And they began to cry
Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear
That we have lost our mittens
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

Three little kittens, they found their mittens
And they began to cry
Oh, mother dear, see here, see here
For we have found our mittens
Put on your mittens, you silly kittens
And you shall have some pie
Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r
Oh, let us have some pie

Three little kittens put on their mittens
And soon ate up the pie
Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear
That we have soiled our mittens
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, do you not hear
That we have washed our mittens?
What! Washed your mittens, you good little kittens
But I smell a rat close by
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow
We smell a rat close by
