Pussy Sits Beside The Fire


Pussy sits beside the fire:
How can she be fair?
In comes the little dog;
"Pussy, are you there?
So, so Mistress Pussy,
Pray, how do you do?"
"Thank you, thank you, little dog,
I’m very well just now."

Alternative Version

Pussycat sits by the fire:
How did she come there?
In walks the little dog;
Says "Pussy, are you there?
How do you do Mistress Pussy?
Mistress Pussy how do you do?"
"I thank you kindly, little dog,
I fare as well as you."
