Original text and translations

English text

Once there was a little kitty,
White as the snow;
In a barn he used to frolic,
Long time ago.

In the barn a little mousie
Ran to and fro;
For she heard the little kitty,
Long time ago.

Two black eyes had little kitty,
Black as a crow:
And they spied the little mousie,
Long time ago.

Four soft paws had little kitty,
Paws soft as snow;
And they caught the little mousie,
Long time ago.

Nine pearl teeth had little kitty,
All in a row:
And they bit the little mousie,
Long time ago.

When the teeth bit little mousie,
Mousie cried out “Oh!”
But she slipped away from kitty,
Long time ago.
