I LOVE
LITTLE
PUSSY
 

I LOVE LITTLE PUSSY,
HER COAT IS SO WARM,
AND IF I DON'T HURT HER,
SHE'LL DO ME NO HARM.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Image of a little girl
holding a feeding bowl,
and a cat sitting at her feet.
 
 
 
 

I'LL SIT BY THE FIRE
AND GIVE HER SOME FOOD
AND PUSSY WILL LOVE ME,
BECAUSE I AM GOOD.
