Pussy Cat Pussy Cat

A playful musical version of this classic rhyme with instrumental storytelling and character voices.

A playful Piccolo version of this traditional rhyme where the story unfolds through music as well as words.

The cat’s adventure to London begins with instrumental replies from the orchestra — a curious clarinet for the cat and a cheeky xylophone for the little mouse. When the rhyme returns, the full story is sung with miaows from the cat, a friendly hello from the queen and a squeaky mouse surprise.

Listen out for the instruments answering for the cat before the whole rhyme is sung together.

Lyrics (Preview)

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?
I've been up to London to visit the queen.

Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you do there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.

…

In Piccolo’s version, the cat’s replies are first told through instruments before the full rhyme returns with miaows, a royal hello and a squeaky mouse surprise.

Listening Game

In the first verse, the cat answers using instruments instead of words.

Listen carefully and see if the children can spot them.

• The clarinet answers when the cat says she went to London to visit the queen
• The xylophone answers when the cat frightened the little mouse

Before the second verse, ask the children if they can remember what the instruments were saying.

When the rhyme comes back with the full lyrics, join in with the miaow, the queen’s hello, and the squeaky mouse.
