Froggy went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh
Froggy went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh
Froggy went a-courtin' and he did ride
A sword and pistol by his side, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
He rode up to Missy Mousie's door, uh-huh, uh-huh
He rode up to Missy Mousie's door, uh-huh, uh-huh
He rode up to Missy Mousie's door
Where he had been many times before, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
He said "Missy Mousie are you within," uh-huh, uh-huh
He said "Missy Mousie are you within," uh-huh, uh-huh
He said "Missy Mousie are you within,
Missy Mousie said "I sit and spin," uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
He sat Missy Mousie upon his knee, uh-huh, uh-huh,
He sat Missy Mousie upon his knee, uh-huh, uh-huh,
He sat Missy Mousie upon his knee
And said "Missy Moussie will you marry me?" uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
"Not without Uncle Rat's consent," uh-huh, uh-huh,
"Not without Uncle Rat's consent," uh-huh, uh-huh,
"Without my Uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the President," uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Well Uncle Rat gave his consent, uh-huh, uh-huh,
Yes, Uncle Rat gave his consent, uh-huh, uh-huh,
Well Uncle Rat he gave his consent
And the weasel wrote the publishment, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Now where will the wedding breakfast be? uh-huh, uh-huh,
Where will the wedding breakfast be? uh-huh, uh-huh,
Where will the wedding breakfast be?
Way down yonder in a hollow tree, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
What will the wedding breakfast be, yum-yum, yum-yum,
What will the wedding breakfast be, yum-yum, yum-yum,
What will the wedding breakfast be,
Two green beans and a black-eyed pea, yum-yum, yum-yum, yum-yum.
The first to arive was a flying moth, uh-huh, uh-huh,
The first to arive was a flying moth, uh-huh, uh-huh,
The first to arive was a flying moth
Who laid out the tablecloth, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
The next to come was a big black snake, uh-huh, uh-huh,
The next to come was a big black snake, uh-huh, uh-huh,
Next to come was a big black snake
Chased them all away into the lake, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf, uh-huh, uh-huh,
Little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf, uh-huh, uh-huh,
A little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
