Pussy Cat Pussy Cat - Lyrics and Melody

Lyrics and Melody

Common modern versions include:

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?

I've been down to London to visit the Queen.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you do there?

I frightened a little mouse, under her chair.

The last line sometimes sung as:

I chased a little mouse right under the chair.

The melody commonly associated with the rhyme was first recorded by the composer and nursery rhyme collector James William Elliott in his National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs (1870).
