ITIr. Jones and his Kittens.

Ag sung by Mr. SLOMAN, at tlie New-York Thcatrei.
The clock had struck one, Mr. Jones went to bed,
Fal de ral, de ral lal, de ral de ral laddy.
And strange was the vision that roamed in his head,
Fal de ral, &c.
A scratching he heard, and a mighty great moan,
Oh! says he to himself, sure the devil is come,
Fal de ral, &c.
To be sure, what a horrible sight to behold !
Fal de ral, &c.
What he saw with his eyes, turned all his blood cold i
Fal de ral, &c.
A great tabby cat, with nine kittens at her tail.
Jump'd smack on his bed, and there did bewaU;
Fal de ral, &c.
Last night, oh! you drowned us every one,
Fal de ral, &c.
And pray, Mr. Jones, what have we done ]
Fal do ral, &c. ^
Thoiigh each of us had nine lives, you ne'er a one
spar'd ;
Then the old cat swell'd her tail, and the kittens aU
swear'd.
Fal de ral, &c.
Now, the old cat's eyes, one black, t'other red,
Fal de ral, &c.
And her tail swelled three times as big as her head,
Fal de ral, &c.
You villian! she cried, as she cock'd up her back.
With her eyes flashing fire, in his face she flew
smack. (mew.) Fal de ral, &c
