Dripping with Kittens?

In our pursuit of musicals knowledge, we've also watched Annie quite a bit this year.  It's funny to see how these stories infiltrate the kids' play.  There have been many imaginary games recently where they've played that they (or at least some of them) were poor.  I suppose this could have come from Oliver as well.  One of the hilarious games in the neighborhood recently was called "Titanic".   All the kids were on the hammock, and some of them were first-class, some second-class, and some steerage.

But, back to Annie, Lee changed these lyrics:
   Some women are dripping with diamonds,
   Some are dripping with pearls,
   But lucky, lucky me,
   I'm dripping with little girls.

to:
   Some girls are dripping with hats,
   Some are dripping with mittens,
   But lucky, lucky, me,
   I'm dripping with little kittens.
