the kittens begin to cry
Well, the three little kittens
took off their mittens
Dm

and they began to play
C 
Hey, they stomped it out,
Am 
and there's no doubt,
G 
them cats  were really okay
C 
G 
They really rocked them,
they really socked them
C 
with their swingin' sway

A lion named Leo,
G 
heard the trio,
C

signed them for a film.

and a picture at the end.
C 
That's the cat's smell.
