Froggy Went A Courting

The frog went a-courting and he did ride

The frog went a-courting and he did ride

The frog went a-courting on a little white horse

Sword and pistol by his side



He went down to miss mouse's door

He went down to miss mouse's door

He went down to miss mouse's door

Where he had been many times before



Then he took miss mouse upon his knee

He took miss mouse upon his knee

Yes, he took miss mouse upon his knee

And he said: miss mouse will you marry me?



Without my Uncle Rat's consent

I'm afraid without my Uncle Rat's consent

Oh no, without my Uncle Rat's consent

I would not marry the president



Then Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat side

Yes, then Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat side

Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat side

To think that his niece would be a bride



Then he said: where will the wedding breakfast be?

Oh, where will the wedding breakfast be?

Where will the wedding breakfast be?

Way down yonder in the hollow tree?



The owls did hoot and the birds they sang

The owls did hoot and the birds they sang

The owls did hoot and the birds they sang

Through the woods the music rang



Then they all went sailing across the lake

Then they all went sailing across the lake

They all went sailing across the lake

And they got swallowed up by a big fat snake



There's bread and cheese upon the shelf

There's bread and cheese upon the shelf

There's bread and cheese upon the shelf

If you want any more you can sing it yourself
