My kitten loves me, this I know
For his blue eyes tell me so.
Little, fuzzy, white, and black,
I carry him like a sack.

Additional verses, by various friends; some don't scan when sung to the same tune, but are amusing enough that I've included them:
My kitten loves me, or so it seems
She loves to jump and land on my jeans
While I am wearing them, she climbs up high
Digging her tiny claws into my thigh.
(Erik Ray)
my kitten loves me, she giveth gacky;
barfed up innards making lino tacky.
she calls me to her with her wretching -
not quick enough - on carpet spewing
(Kevin Lyda)
My kitten loves me to bits and pieces
She loves to help me with my thesis
When I'm not looking, I hear her playing
Never thinking she could be flaying
(Erik Ray)
My kitten loves me deeply and dearly
And in the morning she wakes me early
Since I'm not up yet, her dish is null
To let me know it, she sits on my skull
(Erik Ray)
Mel's verses all scan!
My kitten loves me, I will show;
Watch me tell her, "kitten, no!"
Scratching, biting, ripped to shreds -
lots of hairballs on the beds.
(Melanie Dymond Harper)
My kitten loves me, yes, it's true;
Look what she left me in my shoe!
Heads of mice and other bits,
All choice gifts from my dear kit.
(Melanie Dymond Harper)
My kitten loves me, late at night
Caterwauls 'til it gets light.
Sleeps all day then wants her food;
For kitties, truly life is good.
(Melanie Dymond Harper)
My kitty loves me, I'm quite sure
When I leave, he runs out the door
I have to chase him down and then
I bring him back and he tries again.
