Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh

Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh

Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride

With a sword and a pistol by his side, uh-huh

Well he rode right up to miss mousey's door, uh-huh

He rode right up to miss mousey's door, uh-huh

He rode right up to miss mousey's door

Gave three loud raps and a very big roar, uh-huh

Said, "miss mouse, are you within?" uh-huh

Said, "miss mouse, are you within?" uh-huh

Said, "miss mouse, are you within?"

"Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin," uh-huh

He took miss mousey on his knee, uh-huh

Took miss mousey on his knee, uh-huh

Took miss mousey on his knee

Said, "miss mousey, will you marry me?" uh-huh

"Without my uncle rat's consent, uh-huh

Without my uncle rat's consent, uh-huh

Without my uncle rat's consent

I wouldn't marry the president, uh-huh"

Uncle rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh

Uncle rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh

Uncle rat laughed and he shook his fat sides

To think his niece would be a bride, uh-huh

Uncle rat went runnin' downtown, uh-huh

Uncle rat went runnin' downtown, uh-huh

Uncle rat went runnin' downtown

To buy his niece a wedding gown, uh-huh

Where shall the wedding supper be? Uh-huh

Where shall the wedding supper be? Uh-huh

Where shall the wedding supper be?

Way down yonder in a hollow tree, uh-huh

What should the wedding supper be? Uh-huh

What should the wedding supper be? Uh-huh

What should the wedding supper be?

Fried mosquito in a black-eyed pea, uh-huh

Well, first to come in was a flyin' moth, uh-huh

First to come in was a flyin' moth, uh-huh

First to come in was a flyin' moth

She laid out the table cloth, uh-huh

Next to come in was a juney bug, uh-huh

Next to come in was a juney bug, uh-huh

Next to come in was a juney bug

She brought the water jug, uh-huh

Next to come in was a bumbley bee, uh-huh

Next to come in was a bumbley bee, uh-huh

Next to come in was a bumbley bee

Sat mosquito on his knee, uh-huh

Next to come in was a broken black flea, uh-huh

Next to come in was a broken black flea, uh-huh

Next to come in was a broken black flea

Danced a jig with the bumbley bee, uh-huh

Next to come in was mrs. Cow, uh-huh

Next to come in was mrs. Cow, uh-huh

Next to come in was mrs. Cow

She tried to dance but she didn't know how, uh-huh

Next to come in was a little black tick, uh-huh

Next to come in was a little black tick, uh-huh

Next to come in was a little black tick

She ate so much she made us sick, uh-huh

A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf, uh-huh

A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf, uh-huh

A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf

If you want any more, you can sing it yourself, uh-huh
