I love 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.
Ding dong bell
pussy's in the well.
Who put her in?
Little Johnny Green.
Who pulled her out?
Little Tommy Stout.
What a naughty boy was that
to try to drown poor pussy cagt,
who never did him any harm,
and killed the mice in his father's barn.
Six little mice sat down to spin.
Pussy passed by and she peeped in.
What are you doing, my little men?
Weaving coats for gentlemen.
Shall I come in and cut off your threads?
No, no, Mistress Pussy, you'd bite off our heads.
Oh, no, I'll not. I'll help you spin.
That may be so, but you don't come in.
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.
