3 Little Kittens

Traditional Nursery Rhyme

3 little kittens
They lost their mittens
And they began to cry
Oh, mother dear, We sadly fear 
Our mittens we have lost

You naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie
Mee-ow, mee-ow
You shall have no pie

The 3 little kittens

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
Mee-ow, mee-ow
You shall have some pie
