The
Cat and the Fiddle
Hey,
diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to such sport
And the
dish ran away with the moon.
Three
Little Kittens
Three
little kittens,
they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry:
"O mother dear,
We very much fear,
That we have lost our mittens."
Lost your mittens!
You naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.
"Meow, meow, meow."
No, you shall not have pie.
"Meow, meow, meow."
The
three little kittens,
they found their mittens,
And they began to cry:
"O mother dear,
See here, see here!
See! We have found our mittens."
Put on your mittens
You silly kittens,
And you may have some pie.
"Purrr, purrr, purrr,
O let us have the pie.
Purrr, purrr, purrr."
The
three little kittens
put on their mittens,
And soon ate up the pie;
"O mother dear,
We greatly fear,
That we have soiled our mittens."
Soiled your mittens!
You naughty kittens!
Then they began to sigh,
"Meow, meow, meow."
The
three little kittens,
they washed their mittens,
And hung them out to dry;
"O mother dear,
Do you not hear,
That we have washed our mittens?"
Washed your mittens!
Oh, you're good kittens.
But I smell a mouse close by;
Hush! Hush! "meow, meow.
We smell a mouse close by,
"Meow, meow, meow."
Dame Trot and
her Cat
Dame
Trot and her cat
Led a peaceable life,
When they were not troubled
With other folks' strife.
When
Dame had her dinner
Pussy would wait,
And was sure to receive
A nice piece from her plate.
Pussy-Cat and the
Queen
"Pussy-cat,
pussy-cat,
Where have you been?"
"I've been to London
To look at the Queen."
"Pussy-cat,
pussy-cat,
What did you there?"
"I frightened a little mouse
Under the chair."
My Kitten
Hey,
my kitten, my kitten,
And hey, my kitten, my deary!
Such a sweet pet as this
Was neither far nor neary.
The Lion and the
Unicorn
The
Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown,
The Lion beat the Unicorn all around the town.
Some gave them white bread, and some gave them
brown,
Some gave them plum-cake, and sent them out of
town.
Little Pussy
I
like little Pussy,
Her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her
She'll do me no harm;
So I'll not pull her tail,
Nor drive her away,
But Pussy and I
Very gently will play.
Two Gray Kits
The
two gray kits,
And the gray kits' mother,
All went over
The bridge together.
The
bridge broke down,
They all fell in;
"May the rats go with you",
Says Tom Bolin.
Pussy-Cat Mew
Pussy-cat
Mew jumped over a coal,
And in her best petticoat burnt a great hole.
Poor pussy's weeping, she'll have no more milk
Until her best petticoat's mended with silk.
The Kilkenny Cats
There
were once two cats of Kilkenny.
Each thought there was one cat too many;
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails,
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there weren't any.
Pussy-Cat
and the Dumplings
Pussy-cat
ate the dumplings, the dumplings,
Pussy-cat ate the dumplings.
Mamma stood by, and cried, "Oh, fie!
Why did you eat the dumplings?"
Pussy-Cat by the Fire
Pussy-cat
sits by the fire;
How can she be so fair?
In walks the little dog;
Says: "Pussy are you there?
How do you do, Mistress Pussy?
Mistress Pussy, how d'ye do?"
"I thank you kindly, little dog,
I fare as well as you!"
