O my kitten (Anonymous, set by P. Warlock) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


O my kitten, a kitten, 
And O my kitten, my deary,
Such a sweet pap as this
There is not far nor neary.
Here we go up, up, up,
Here we go down, down, down,
Here we go backwards and forwards,
And here we go round, round, round,
