C#              B
When you caress your little cat
    A                   G#
And stroke me with your hand
  C#              B
I know I'm just a kitten but
  A            G#
I long to be a man

   C#              B
My little eyes are Chinese blue
     A              G#
They view with some regret
     C#         B
This girl who's stroking me
  A                    G#
Regards me only as her pet

    C#              B
And though I'd love to be loved
    A                G#
The gods ordained it that
C#              B
You were made a human being
    A              G#
And I turned out a cat

[CHORUS]
G#      C#     B A G# C# B A G#
 I am a kitten

[VERSE]
  C#                B
I hate to sleep all rolled up small
    A              G#
And dream of butterflies
  C#             B
I hate to paw at balls of wool
    A             G#
And massacre poor mice

C#                B
Stripey tails and pointy ears
A               G#
Bore me half to tears
C#              B
Those days have gone for good
A               G#
Since I saw you in the nude

    C#              B
And though I'd love to be loved
      A               G#
We've got to face the fact:
C#                 B
You're up there, a human being
    A                G#
And I'm down here, a cat

[CHORUS]
G#      C#     B A
 I am a kitten
G#      C#     B A G#
 I am a kitten

[VERSE G  O]
C# B A G#  C# B A G#
C# B A G#  C# B A G#

[VERSE]
    C#              B
And though I'd love to be loved
     A               G#
I've had to face the fact:
    C#                  B
The gods who made you a human being
   A               G#  C# B A G#  C# B A
Created me ..... a cat

[CHORUS]
G#      C#     B A G# C# B A G#
 I am a kitten
G#      C#     B A
 I am a kitten...meow
