Kitty in a Basket.Gayla Peevey & Jimmy Boyd.

Seq- Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar- Bunty Pritchard Jones. Sept 2000.

[Both]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 our door,
and we'll love the little kitty for ever more.

[Jimmy]Wrap the kitty warm, you never know about a storm,
and we don't want a little kitty with the sneezes.

[Gayla]We'll hug her and we'll squeeze her,
never, never tease her,
[Both]Want a little kitty in a basket.

[Jimmy]Don't matter 'bout the color of her nosie,
[Gayla]Don't care if she's a feller or a girl.

[Jimmy]Don't have to be as pretty as a posie,
[Both]And we promise not to laugh,
if she only has a half a tail.

[Both]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 our door,
and we'll love the little kitty for ever more.

[Gayla]Savin' up a dollar and we're gonna buy a collar;
saw it in the five and tenny when we passed it.

[Jimmy]Don't want a little tisket,
or a little tasket,
[Both]Just want a kitty in a basket.

[Gayla]We'll warm her milk and dress her in pyjamas,
[Jimmy]We'll make a bed for her in Daddy's shoe,

[Gayla]And if she starts in cryin' for her Mama,
[Both]she can bring along her Mama,
and her sisters and her brothers too.

[Both]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 our door,
and we'll love the little kitty for ever more.

[Gayla]We'll be goin' now,
but if you hear a cat meowin',

and she's lookin' for a home,
please won'tcha ask it,

[Jimmy]We'll really love it so,
and never let her go,
[Both]We want a little kitty in a basket.
