A frog went a-courtin' and he did ride
Ding dang dong go the wedding bells
A sword and pistol by his side,
Ding dang dong go the wedding bells
Here's to Cheshire, Here's to cheese
Here's to the pears and the apple trees
And here's to the lovely strawberries
Ding dang dong go the wedding bells
Mr. Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh!
Mr. Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh!
Mr. Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride,
A sword and pistol by his side, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
He went down to Missy Mousie's door, uh-huh!
He went down to Missy Mousie's door, uh-huh!
He went down to Missy Mousie's door,
He gave a loud knock and he gave a loud roar, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Said, 'Missy Mousie, are you within?' uh-huh!
Said, 'Missy Mousie, are you within?' uh-huh!
Said, 'Missy Mousie, are you within?'
'Ah yes, kind sir, I sit and spin.' Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Well he took Missy Mousie on his knee, uh-huh
Well he took Missy Mousie on his knee, uh-huh
Well he took Missy Mousie on his knee,
And he said, 'Missy Mousie, will you marry me?' Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
'Well, without my Uncle Rat's consent,' uh-huh
'Well, without my Uncle Rat's consent,' uh-huh
'Well, without my Uncle Rat's consent,'
'I would not marry the president.' Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Well Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Well Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Well Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides,
To think of his niece as the froggie's bride. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Uncle Rat gave his consent, uh-huh
Uncle Rat gave his consent, uh-huh
Uncle Rat gave his consent,
The weasel wrote the publishment. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Where will the wedding supper be? uh-huh
Where will the wedding supper be? uh-huh
Where will the wedding supper be?
Way down yonder in a holler tree. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
What will the wedding supper be? uh-huh
What will the wedding supper be? uh-huh
What will the wedding supper be?
Fried mosquiter and a black-eyed bee. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
The first guest in was a bumbly-bee, uh-huh
The first guest in was a bumbly-bee, uh-huh
The first guest in was a bumbly-bee,
He danced a jig with a crooked back flea. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
The next guest in was a little black tic, uh-huh
The next guest in was a little black tic, uh-huh
The next guest in was a little black tic,
And he ate so much he made himself sick. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
They all went sailin' across the lake, uh-huh
They all went sailin' across the lake, uh-huh
They all went sailin' across the lake,
And they got swallered up by a big black snake. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Little piece o' cornbread sittin' on the shelf, uh-huh
Little piece o' cornbread sittin' on the shelf, uh-huh
Little piece o' cornbread sittin' on the shelf,
If you want any more, better sing it yourself.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh!
