Kitty in the Basket

Kitty In The Basket - Diana Decker/Connie Haines

If there's someone in the city doesn't want a little kitty

Tell them put the little kitty in a basket

Leave the little basket outside my door

And I'll love the little kitty for evermore

Wrap the kitty warm you never know about a storm

And I don't want a little kitty with the sneezes

I'll hug her and I'll squeeze her never never tease her

Want a little kitty in a basket

No matter 'bout the colour of her nosey

Don't care if she's a fella or a girl

Don't have to be as pretty as a posey

And I promise not to laugh if she only has a half-a-tail

If there's someone in the city doesn't want a little kitty

Tell them put the little kitty in a basket

Leave the little basket outside my door

And I'll love the little kitty for evermore

Savin' up a dollar and I'm gonna buy a collar

If she's lookin' for a home please won't ya ask it

Don't want a little tiskit or a little tasket

Just a little kitty in a basket

I'll warm her milk and dress her in pyjamas

I'll make a bed for her in Daddy's shoe

And if she starts in cryin' for her mama

She can bring along her mama and her sisters and her brothers too

Don't have to be as pretty as a posey

And I promise not to laugh if she only has a half-a-tail

If there's someone in the city doesn't want a little kitty

Tell them put the little kitty in a basket

Leave the little basket outside my door

And I'll love the little kitty for evermore

Wrap the kitty warm you never know about a storm

And I don't want a little kitty with the sneezes

I'll hug her and I'll squeeze her never never tease her

Want a little kitty in a basket

I'll hug her and I'll squeeze her never never tease her

Want a little kitty in a basket
