Lyrics

  1. I’ve lost a dog, my daddy bought me
    He was a bad dog, ’cause he fought me
    Tore my dress and ran away
    When with him I tried to play
    So, my ma said, just for that
    I should adopt a Pussy cat
    And I’ve got one now, you know
    I can take around and show

Chorus
Have you seen my Pussy cat,
Pussy cat, Pussy cat?
Have you seen my Pussy cat?
With her cute little me’ow-ow ow

  1. My little puss is cute and frisky
    Likes to explore the things thats risky
    That’s why she met one mishap
    When I hid her in my lap
    Up came a Tom cat, big and black
    Humped up his spine, gave her a whack
    But Puss snapped and he turned pale
    When he found he’d lost his tail
  2. Down at the seashore I was standing
    Watching the bathers from the landing
    With my hand I held puss tight
    ‘Fraid the boys might give her fright
    All of a sudden my feet slipped
    I heard a noise like something ripped
    When they hauld us back on land
    My poor puss was full of sand
