23 THREE LITTLE KITTENS

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.
Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow,
Then 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.”
“What, found your mittens!
You darling kittens!
Then you shall have some pie.
Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow,
Then you shall have some pie.”
The three little kittens
Put on their mittens,
And soon ate up the pie.
“Oh, mother dear,
We sadly fear,
Our mittens we have soiled.”
“What, soiled your mittens!
You naughty kittens!”
Then they began to sigh,
“Me-ow, me-ow, me-ow.”
Then they began to sigh.
The three little kittens
They washed their mittens,
And hung them up to dry.
“Oh, mother dear,
See here, see here!
Our mittens we have washed.” “What, washed your mittens
You darling kittens!
I smell a rat close by.
Hush, hush, hush!
I smell a rat close by.”
