Lyrics

  1. Little Susie Anna Brown
    Pride and pet of all the town
    Owned a kitten colored grey
    Loved it in her childish way
    When she went to sleep at night
    Cuddled kitty tight
    But one morn the cat was gone
    And Susie cried with fright

Chorus:
Has anybody seen my kitty?
Has anybody seen my cat?
She’s the cutest thing
And her name is Jean
I wonder where she’s at
I sit all night and sigh
‘Cause it’s lonely in my flat
Come Pussy, Pussy, Pussy
Nice Pussy, Pussy, Pussy
Anybody seen my cat?

Patter:
Won’t you please help me find my lonesome cat
I know she’s doggone lonesome
No matter where she’s at
I’ve mothered her since she was born
Fed her cream and chicken ev’ry morn
She must of lost her way last night
I be she’s hungry and looks a fright
So please, help me find my cat
Gee, how I wonder where she’s at

  1. Old maid Thompson lived next door
    Had a Tom cat long and poor
    Kept it just for company
    For she had no man, you see
    Come a time when Tom lit out
    To roam the country side
    Our old maid looked for a day
    Then to the folks she cried
