The most common modern version is: I love little pussy, Her coat is so warm, And if I don't hurt her, She'll do me no harm.
[2] Additional lines include: She shall sit by my side And I'll give her some food; And pussy will love me Because I am good.
I never will vex her Nor make her displeased: For pussy can't bear To be worried and teased.
[2] Usage of the word "pussy" as a vulgar slang term for the vagina[4] is documented since the late 17th century.
A heavily innuendo-laden variant of the rhyme appears in Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years (1993) by Sue Townsend.
