(English)
A, B, C, die Katze lief im Schnee,
Und wie sie wieder 'raus kam,
Da hatt' sie weisse* Stieflein an:
O jemine, O jemine, O jemine, O je!
A, B, C, die Katze lief zur Höh,
Sie lecket ihr kalt Pfötchen rein
Und putzt sich auch das Stiefelein
Und ging nicht mehr im Schnee.
A, B, C, the cat ran in the snow,
And as she went out of it,
She had on white booties,
O jiminy, O jiminy, O jiminy, O gee!
A, B, C, the cat ran up high,
She licked her cold paw clean
And also cleaned her booties,
And went no more into the snow.
Notes
*Or "weiße" can be used here in German for "white".
