Three Little Kittens

"Three Little Kittens" is a children's nursery rhyme, which finds its root in the British folk tradition. It tells about the three cute kittens (anthropomorphic characters), who lose, then find and later soil their mittens.

The earliest version of the rhyme was printed in the Eton Miscellany in 1827. Later, a version was published in 1833 and then in 1843 in the United States. The original version was refined to make it sophisticated as Follen might have found this version to be a bit rude.

Have a great time singing and watching the video.

Three Little Kittens Lyrics

The three little kittens they lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear

Our mittens we have lost

What? 

Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, 

We shall have no pie.

 

The three little kittens they found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear, see here, see here,

Our mittens we have found

What? 

Found your mittens, you darling kittens,

Then you shall have some pie.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, 

We shall have some pie.

 

The three little kittens put on their mittens,

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, 

Then they began to sigh.

 

The three little kittens they washed their mittens,

And hung them out to dry;

Oh! mother dear, see here, see here,

Our mittens we have washed

What? 

Washed your mittens, you're such good kittens,

But I smell a rat close by.

Hush, hush, hush, hush

I smell a rat close by
