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
