Once there was a little kitty

Whiter than snow;

In a barn she used to frolic,

Long time ago.

In the barn a little mousie

Ran to and fro;

For she heard the kitty coming,

Long time ago.

Two eyes had little kitty,

Black as a sloe;

And they spied the little mousie,

Long time ago.

Four paws had little kitty,

Paws soft as dough,

And they caught the little mousie,

Long time ago.

Nine teeth had little kitty,

All in a row;

And they bit the little mousie,

Long time ago.

When the teeth bit little mousie,

Little mouse cried “Oh!”

But she got away from kitty,

Long time ago.
