Froggie Went A-Courtin' |
A frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, M-hm, M-hm |
A frog went a-courtin' and he did ride |
Sword and pistol by his side, M-hm, M-hm |
He rode up to Miss Mousie’s door, M-hm, M-hm |
He rode up to Miss Mousie’s door |
Where he’d often been before, M-hm, M-hm |
He said, «Miss Mouse, are you within?» |
M-hm, M-hm |
He said, «Miss Mouse, are you within?» |
«Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin.» |
M-hm, M-hm |
He took Miss Mouse upon his knee, M-hm, M-hm |
He took Miss Mouse upon his knee |
Said «Miss Mouse, will you marry me?» |
M-hm, M-hm |
«Without my Uncle Rat’s consent, M-hm, M-hm |
Without my Uncle Rat’s consent |
I wouldn’t marry the President.» |
M-hm, M-hm |
Uncle Rat, he laughed and shook his fat sides, M-hm, M-hm |
Uncle Rat, he laughed and shook his fat sides |
To think his niece would be a bride, M-hm, M-hm |
Then Uncle Rat rode off to town, M-hm, M-hm |
Then Uncle Rat rode off to town |
To buy his niece a wedding gown, M-hm, M-hm |
«Oh, where will the wedding supper be?» |
M-hm, M-hm |
«Oh where will the wedding supper be?» |
«Way down yonder in the hollow tree.» |
M-hm, M-hm |
The first to come was the little white moth, M-hm, M-hm |
The first to come was the little white moth |
She spread out the tablecloth, M-hm, M-hm |
The next to come was the bumblebee, M-hm, M-hm |
The next to come was the bumblebee |
Played the fiddle upon his knee, M-hm, M-hm |
The next to come was a little flea, M-hm, M-hm |
The next to come was a little flea |
Danced a jig with the bumblebee, M-hm, M-hm |
The next to come was Missus Cow, M-hm, M-hm |
The next to come was Missus Cow |
Tried to dance but didn’t know how, M-hm, M-hm |
Now Mister Frog was dressed in green, M-hm, M-hm |
Now Mister Frog was dressed in green |
Sweet Miss Mouse looked like a queen, M-hm, M-hm |
In slowly walked the Parson Rook, M-hm, M-hm |
In slowly walked the Parson Rook |
Under his arm he carried a book, M-hm, M-hm |
They all gathered round the lucky pair, M-hm, M-hm |
They all gathered round the lucky pair |
Singing, dancing everywhere, M-hm, M-hm |
Then Frog and Mouse went off to France, M-hm, M-hm |
Then Frog and Mouse went off to France |
That’s the end of my romance, M-hm, M-hm |
