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.

 

The 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.

 

The 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,then you’re good kittens,

But I smell a rat close by.

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

We smell a rat close by.
