Frog Went A-Courting Lyrics

Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride
Uh huh, uh huh
Froggie went a courtin' and he did ride
Sword and pistol by his side uh huh, uh huh

Well he rode down to Miss Mousey's door
Uh huh, uh huh
He rode down to Miss Mousey's door
Where he'd often been before uh huh, uh huh
He took Miss Mousey on his knee
Uh huh, uh huh
He took Miss Mousey on his knee
Said Miss Mousey, will you marry me?
Uh huh, uh huh

I'll have to ask my Uncle Rat
Uh huh, uh huh
I'll have to ask my Uncle Rat
See what he do say to that uh huh, uh huh

Without my Uncle Rat's consent uh huh, uh
Without my Uncle Rat's consent
I would not marry the president
Uh huh, uh huh

Well Uncle Rat laughed and
Shook his fat sides uh huh, uh huh
Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides
To think his niece would be a bride
Uh huh, uh huh

Well Uncle Rat rode off to town
Uh huh, uh huh uncle Rat rode off to town
To buy his niece a wedding gown
Uh huh, uh huh
Where will the wedding supper be?
Uh huh, uh huh
Where will the wedding supper be?
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
Uh huh, uh huh

And what will the wedding supper be?
Uh huh, uh huh
What will the wedding supper be?
A fired mosquito and a roasted flea
Uh huh, uh huh

Well first come in were two little ants
Uh huh, uh huh
First come in were two little ants
Fixing around, will you have a dance
Uh huh, uh huh

And next come in was a bumblebee
Uh huh, uh huh next come in was a bumblebee
Balancing a fiddle on his knee
Uh huh, uh huh

And next come in was a big tom cat
Uh huh, uh huh
And next come in was a big tom cat
He swallowed the frog and the
Mouse and the rat uh huh, uh huh
And last come in was a big old snake
Uh huh, uh huh
Next come in was a big old snake
He chased the party into the lake
Uh huh, uh huh
