And soon ate up the pie.
"Oh, mother dear,
We greatly fear
Our mittens we have soiled."
"What! soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens!"
Then they began to sigh,
"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow."
Then they began to sigh.
The three little kittens they washed their mittens,
And hung them out to dry;
"Oh! mother dear,
Do you not hear,
Our mittens we have washed?"
"What! washed your mittens, then you're good kittens,
But I smell a rat close by."
"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
We smell a rat close by."
