Soft and white,

Wake up kitty,
Meow, meow, meow.

I’M A LITTLE KITTEN
Tune: “I’M A Little Teapot”
I’m a little kitten,
Soft and small.
I like to climb
Or chase my ball.
If you pick me up
And rub my fur.
You can hear me
Purr and purr!

PUSSY CAT
Pussy cat, pussy cat,
Where have you been?
I’ve been to London
To visit the Queen.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
What did you see?
I saw a monkey
Up in a tree.
Pussy cat, pussy cat
What did you do?
I bought a ticket
And went in the Zoo!
