What! Lost your mittens? You

naughty kittens! (we can put our

hands on our waist)

Then you shall have no pie.” (we

will raise our finger and move from

side to side saying no)

“Meow, meow, meow, meow (x2)

eyes with their fists closed and

pretending they are crying)

No, you shall have no pie (x2) (say

no with your finger)

mittens, and they began to cry,

(you will take your gloves and they

will put them on, and they will

(We will move our hands from

hand to hand)

Put on your mittens, you silly kitties

and you shall have some pie.”
