Once There was a Little Kitty
Once There was a Little Kitty
Traditional Song
Once there was a little kitty,
White as the snow.
And there was a little mousie
Long time ago.
Two black eyes had little kitty,
Black as a crow,
And she saw a little mousie,
Long time ago.
Four soft paws had little kitty,
Soft as the snow,
And they caught the little mousie,
Long time ago.
Nine pearl teeth had little kitty,
All in a row,
And they bit the little mousie,
Long time ago.
When the kitty bit the mousie,
Mousie cried out, "Oh!"
But he got away from kitty,
Long time ago.
