Sweet Kitty Clover, she bothered me so,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Her face was round and red and fat,
Like a pulpit cushion or redder than that.
Sweet Kitty Clover, she bothered me so,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Sweet Kitty Clover, she bothered me so,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
