It sits there, on the mantle The penny kitten. My ma, bought it on Wednesday At the market, in town.
The haggler, he was useless Only gave it us for a penny A little kitten, ginger china That's all ma had.
All her money Just a penny Ma loves it Her penny kitten.
On the mantle, it sits Pride of place, says my ma. I think there's something more about it Its eyes, glass green, they stare
They stare
