Lyrics Frog Went a Courting - Pete Seeger

Frog Went a Courting

Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Froggie went a courtin' and he did ride
Sword and pistol by his side
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Well he rode down to Miss Mousey’s door
Uh-huh, uh-huh
He rode down to Miss Mousey’s door
Where he’d often been before
Uh-huh, uh-huh
He took Miss Mousey on his knee
Uh-huh, uh-huh
He took Miss Mousey on his knee
Said Miss Mousey, will you marry me?
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I’ll have to ask my Uncle Rat
Uh-huh, uh-huh
I’ll have to ask my Uncle Rat
See what he do say to that
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Without my Uncle Rat’s consent
Uh-huh, uh
Without my Uncle Rat’s consent
I would not marry the president
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Well Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides
To think his niece would be a bride
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Well Uncle Rat rode off to town
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uncle Rat rode off to town
To buy his niece a wedding gown
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Where will the wedding supper be?
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Where will the wedding supper be?
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And what will the wedding supper be?
Uh-huh, uh-huh
What will the wedding supper be?
A fired mosquito and a roasted flea
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Well first come in were two little ants
Uh-huh, uh-huh
First come in were two little ants
Fixing around, will you have a dance
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And next come in was a bumblebee
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Next come in was a bumblebee
Balancing a fiddle on his knee
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And next come in was a big tom cat
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And next come in was a big tom cat
He swallowed the frog and the mouse and the rat
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And last come in was a big old snake
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Next come in was a big old snake
He chased the party into the lake
Uh-huh, uh-huh
