Three Little Kittens

Three little kittens they lost their mittens
  And they began to cry,
"Oh, Mother dead, we greatly fear
  Our mittens we have lost."
"Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens?
  Then you shall have no pie."
  Meow...meow...meow.
  "Then you shall have no pie."

The three little kittens, found their mittens
  And they began to cry.
"Oh, mother dear, see here, see here!
  Our mittens we have found!"
"Put on your mittens, you naughty kittens,
  And you shall have some pie."
  Purr, purr, purr.
  "Yes, you shall have some pie."

The three little kittens put on their mittens
  And soon ate up the pie.
"Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear
  Our mittens we have soiled."
"Soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens?"
  And they began to sigh.
  Meow...meow...meow.
  Yes, 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!"
"Washed your mittens, you good little kittens?"
  "But I smell a rat close by!"
  Meow...meow...meow.
  "Yes, we smell a rat close by!"
