One little cat in the corner,
Washing her cute little face;
One little cat comes to catch her;
Two little cats run a race!

(One 'cat' sits on floor.
Second 'cat' joins in on third line.
Two 'cats' chase each other
during musical interlude.)

Two little cats in the corner,
Trying to round up a mouse!
One cat comes in from the barnyard;
Three little cats in the house!

(Two 'cats' sit on floor.
Third 'cat' joins in on third line.
'Cats' frolic and play
during musical interlude.)

Three little cats on the doorstep,
Warming themselves in the sun;
One cat comes up from the cellar;
Four little cats having fun!

(Three 'cats' sit on floor.
Fourth 'cat' joins in on third line.
'Cats' frolic and play
during musical interlude.)

Four little cats by the window,
Watching the stars twinkle bright,
One cat jumps out of the basket;
Five little cats say goodnight!

(Four 'cats' sit on floor.
Fifth 'cat' joins in on third line.
'Cats' snuggle close and fall asleep
during slower musical interlude.)
