[VERSE]
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 SOLO]
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
