1. Once there was a little kitty
Whiter than snow;
In a barn she used to frolic,
Long time ago.
2. In the barn a little mousie
Ran to and fro;
For she heard the kitty coming,
Long time ago.
3. Two eyes had little kitty,
Black as a sloe;
And they spied the little mousie,
Long time ago.
4. Four paws had little kitty,
Paws soft as dough;
And they caught the little mousie;
Long time ago.
5. Nine teeth had little kitty,
All in a row;
And they bit the little mousie,
Long time ago;
6. When the teeth bit little mousie,
Little mouse cried “Oh!”
But she got away from kitty,
Long time ago.
