As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Every wife had seven sacks.
Every sack had seven cats.
Every cat had seven kitts
Kitts, cats, sacks, wives:
How many were going to St. Ives?

Three blind mice.
Three blind mice.
See how they run! See how they run!
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a fright in your life
As three blind mice?

Hi said the chickadee sitting on a chair,
Once I courted a lady fair,
She knew how to glide and sway,
Ever since then, I dressed in gray.
Tow di...
Hi said the purple finch sitting on a chair,
Once I courted a lady fair.
She was timid and pranced on toes,
Ever since then, I dressed in rose.
Tow di...
Hi said the little wren sitting on a chair, once I sang a song so loud!
She sang out with strut and sound, ever since then, I dressed in brown!
Tow di...
Hi said the woodpecker sitting on a chair.
Once I found a tree so strong.
He'd work, peck and then he'd press,
Ever since then, I dressed a mess!
Tow di...
Hi said all the birds, sitting on a chair.
Once we flew round ladies fair!
They sway, prance, sing high and low,
When we dance, we wear rainbow!
Tow di...

The cat and the mouse live in the same house.
They don't always get along.
The cats chase and bully the mice so the mice invite the cats to dinner.
They serve the cats a lot to eat and drink.
The cats eat so much, they get tired.
The cats fall asleep.
"Presto!" The mice make the cats' tails disappear while they are asleep.
From that point on, the cats treat the mice kindly.
This is why cats hide their tails when they are scared.
