THREE little kittens lost their mittens;

And they began to cry,

"Oh! mother dear,

That we have lost our mittens."

"Lost your mittens!

You naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie."

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."

"No, you shall have no pie."

"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."

The three little kittens found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

"Oh! mother dear,

See here, see here,

Sce, we have found our mittens."

"Put on your mittens,
You silly kittens,

And you may have some pie."

"Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r,

Oh! let us have the pie,

Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r."

The three little kittens put on their mittens,

And soon ate up the pie;

"Oh! mother dear,

We greatly fear

"Soil'd your mittens!

You naughty kittens!"

Then they began to sigh,

Mi-ow, mi-ow, mi-ow."

Then they began to sigh,

"Mi-ow, mi-ow, mi-ow."

The three little kittens wash'd their mittens,

And hung them out to dry;

"Oh! mother dear,

Do not you hear,

That we have wash'd our mittens."

"Wash'd your mittens!

Oh! you're good kittens.

But I smell a rat close by."

"Hush! hush! mee-ow, mee-ow,

We smell a rat close by,

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."
