Froggie Went A​-​Courtin'

from Sunshine Songs by Ross Mayhew

lyrics

Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride
on a sunny day under clear blue sky, uh-huh

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 he "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?"

without my Uncle Rats consent, uh-huh
without my Uncle Rats consent, uh-huh
without my Uncle Rats consent
i wouldn't marry the President, uh-huh

Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Uncle Rat laughed and shoot his fat sides
to think his niece would be a bride, uh-huh

Uncle Rat went running down town, uh-huh
Uncle Rat went running down town, uh-huh
Uncle Rat went running down town
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
something vegan sounds good to me, uh-huh

first to come in was a flying moth, uh-huh
first to come in was a flying moth, uh-huh
first to come in was a flying moth
she laid out the tablecloth, uh-huh

next to come in was a june bug, uh-huh
next to come in was a june bug, uh-huh
next to come in was a june 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

the owl did hoot and the birds they sang, uh-huh
the owl did hoot and the birds they sang, uh-huh
the owl did hoot and the birds they sang
through the woods the music rang, uh-huh

then came in a broken black flea, uh-huh
then came in a broken black flea, uh-huh
then came in 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 didn't know how, uh-huh

Mr Frog was dressed in green, uh-huh
Mr Frog was dressed in green, uh-huh
Mr Frog was dressed in green
sweet Miss Mouse looked like a queen, uh-huh

all gathered round the lucky pair, uh-huh
all gathered round the lucky pair, uh-huh
all gathered round the lucky pair
singing, dancing everywhere, uh-huh

then came in a little black tick, uh-huh
then came in a little black tick, uh-huh
then came in a little black tick
she ate so much it made her sick, uh-huh

next to come in was a big black snake, uh-huh
next to come in was a big black snake, uh-huh
next to come in was a big black snake
ate up all of the wedding cake, uh-huh

next to come in was old bruce cat, uh-huh
next to come in was old bruce cat, uh-huh
next to come in was old bruce cat
away ran the mouse, away ran the rat, uh-huh

Mr Frog went a-hopping up over the brook, uh-huh
Mr Frog went a-hopping up over the brook, uh-huh
Mr Frog went a-hopping up over the brook
a lily white duck almost swallowed him up, uh-huh

Mr Frog and miss mouse met the next day, uh-huh
Mr Frog and miss mouse met the next day, uh-huh
Mr Frog and miss mouse met the next day
decided together they'd run away, uh-huh

Mr Frog and miss mouse went to france, uh-huh
Mr Frog and miss mouse went to france, uh-huh
Mr Frog and miss mouse went to france
knew true love would stand a chance, uh-huh

a little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf, uh-huh
a little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf, uh-huh
a little piece of cornbread laying on a shelf
if you want any more you can sing it yourself, uh-huh
