The three little kittens put on their mittens;
And soon ate up the pie,
“O mother dear,
We very much fear
That our mittens we have soiled.”

“Soiled your mittens! You naughty kittens!”
Then they began to sigh.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
Then they began to sigh,
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

The three little kittens washed their mittens;
And hung them out to dry,
“O mother dear,
Did you not hear
That our mittens we have washed?”

“Washed your mittens!
You're such 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.
