Little Robin Redbreast
  Sat upon a tree;
Up went Pussy-cat,
  Down went he.

Down came Pussy-cat,
  And away Robin ran;
Says little Robin Redbreast
  “Catch me if you can.”

Little Robin Redbreast
  Hopped upon a wall;
Pussy-cat jumped after him,
  And almost got a fall.

Little Robin chirped and sang,
  And what did Pussy say?
Pussy-cat said “Mew,”
  and Robin flew away.
