1. I'm a pretty little kitten,
My name is Tabby Gray,
I live out in the country,
Some twenty miles away.
My eyes are black and hazel,
My skin is soft as silk;
I'm fed each night and morning
With a saucer full of milk.
2. The milk comes fresh and foaming,
Fresh from the good old cow;
And, after I have lapped it,
I frolic--you know how.
I'm petted by the children,
And the mistress of the house;
And sometimes, when I'm nimble,
I catch a little mouse.
3. But sometimes, when I'm naughty,
I climb upon the stand,
And eat the cake and chicken,
Or any thing at hand;
Ah! then they hide my saucer,
No matter if I mew;
And that's the way I'm punished
For naughty things I do.
