Tune Of: Away In A Manger

Songbook: Misc Kid Carols

Composer: William Kirkpatrick (1838–1921)

I once had a kitty and the kitty had me.

We were oh so happy, that cute kitty and me.

Then I found to my dismay, the cat, it had fleas.

They were oh so itchy and I wanted to scream.

Little did I know then that the fleas they had fleas

The big fleas did itch and they wanted to sneeze.

I wondered how I might control all of these.

And I still had my kitty that I wanted to please.

I wanted to use flea bath and ignore the wee fleas.

But I thought that might be mean, so I kept all the fleas.

The wee fleas were not real fleas they were bacteria

Yet they still itched the poor things on their backs and their knees.

I thought of a solution, though it took me all day.

I would start a flea circus and join in the fray

The big fleas were easy, while the little fleas lay

exhausted from jumping, asleep on the hay.
