Italian Nursery Rhyme

As long as I can remember, my mom and Grandmom have shared an Italian nursery rhyme with us (and therefore we share it with all the children we love). I can't begin to spell it out in Italian, but in English, it basically says this:

Meow
The little cat got married
She made some cookies
She wouldn't give me any
Meow Meow Meow

Allen has been a fan of the nursery rhyme on and off since he was born ... and tonight he was asking me to to do it ... here's a video so you can see/hear how it goes ...

And here's Allen's version of it ...

I'm not sure which version I like better :)

I've been looking for this to make sure I spelled the dialect correctly and can't find it but I do this with all my little nieces and nephews:

Miao, Miao, a gata si maritao
e fice i gudariardi
e a mia hon mi dunau
Miao, Miao, Miao, Miao!

They and I still love it!!!
