Lyrics:

I've been smitten by my kitten
So I've written this little ditty
I'm admittin' I've been bitten
By my kitten once or twice
I'm explainin' there's no trainin'
Nor containin' my dear sweet kitty
He's a pain in--yes he loves me
Only not as much as mice!

If I could I'd marry you and you would be my spouse
We'd dine on cream and tuna fish, catnip pie and mouse
Then you would live in the house

Sometimes you need your privacy and social grace you lack
When you feel sick you hide all day, or else you just attack
Just stay away from the cat--yak!

Chorus:

Little kitty sittin' pretty lickin' itty bitty paws
Ball of fluff my powderpuff, I love you kitty just because
You say meow, meow-wow, Meow, meow-wow
Meow, meow-wow-wow, Meow
Meow, meow-wow, Meow, meow-wow
Meow, meow-wow-wow-wow, Meow

When we visit at the vet, you simply won't sit still
You hate the shot and scratch the doc, and you always will
Good, God, I just got the bill!

I love to watch you run and play and jump and roll and crouch
When I'm away you claw and spray, and that makes me a grouch
There goes my new leather couch--ouch!

Kitty in the window, kitty on the sill, kitty lying in the sun
Kitty drinking water, kitty standing still, kitty on the run
Kitty on the rooftop, kitty in a tree, kitty underneath the bed
I wouldn't trade my kitty for a million bucks
I'd rather have my kitty instead

(Chorus)

Because of you I've found a new perspective every day
With your meow you've taught me how to always get my way
Listen and thou shalt obey!
The diva's here, just call me queen, I'm spoiled yet wild and free
With lives of nine you sweet feline show me how to be me
I've found my own inner kit-ty!

(Chorus)

Kitty in the window, kitty on the sill, kitty lying in the sun
Kitty drinking water, kitty standing still, little kitty on the run
Kitty on the rooftop, kitty in a tree, kitty underneath the bed
I wouldn't trade my kitty for a million bucks
I'd rather have my kitt instead
A kitty, kitty, kitty
A kitty, kitty, kitty
I love my little, pretty kitty cat!
