I love little Pussy,
Her coat is so warm;
And if I don't tease her,
She'll do me no harm.
I'll not pull her tail,
Nor drive her away,
But Pussy and I
Very gently will play.
She'll be gentle with me,
If I'm gentle with her,
And if I speak kindly,
I know she will purr.
She shall sit by my side,
And I'll give her some food
And Pussy will love me
Because I am good.
It's true, if I tease her,
Her claws she will show;
But Pussy knows well
That I never do so.
