Frog went a courtin’ and he did ride u-huh Frog went a courtin’ and he did ride u-huh Frog went a courtin’ and he did ride with a sword and a pistol by his side u-huh

He rode right up to Miss Mouse’s door u-huh 2x Rode right up to Miss Mouse’s door, gave Three loud raps on her wooden door u-huh

Said Miss Mouse will you marry me u-huh 2x Said Miss Mouse will you marry me Way down yonder by the hollow tree u-huh

Without my Uncle Rat’s consent u-huh 2x
Without my Uncle Rat’s consent
I wouldn’t marry the president u-huh

Well, Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides u-huh 2x Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides To think his niece would be a bride u-huh

Uncle Rat rode off out of town u-huh 2x
Uncle Rat rode off out of town
To buy his niece a wedding gown u-huh

Where will the wedding supper by u-huh 2x Where will the wedding supper be Way down yonder by the hollow tree u-huh

First to come in were two little ants u-huh 2x First to come in were two little ants They were fixing to have a dance u-huh

Next to come in was a bumble bee u-huh 2x Next to come in was a bumble bee Bouncing a fiddle on his knee u-huh

Last to come in was big ol snake u-huh 2x Last to come in was a big ol’ snake he chased everybody into the lake u-huh
