Froggy Went a Courtin-Elizabeth Mitchell

Froggy went a-courtin' and he did ride With a sword and a pistol by his side He rode 'til he came to Miss Mousie's door Where he'd often been before Miss Mousie came a-trippin down Green glass slippers and a golden gown He took Miss Mouse upon his knee And he said "Miss Mouse, will you marry me?" Keemo Kymo, Kymo Kee Way down yonder in a in a hollow tree An owl and a bat and a bumblebee King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O "Without my Uncle Rat's consent Boy I would not marry the President" That ol' Rat laughed 'til he shook his sides To think Miss Mousie would be a bride What will the wedding supper be? Two butter beans and a black-eyed pea What more will the wedding supper be? Buttercups and dew-drop tea REFRAIN The first came in was a silver moth She spread her wings for a tablecloth The next came in was a bumblebee Set a little banjo on her knee Next came in was the old gray goose Picked up his fiddle and he cut loose Next came in were two little ants Well they stood up to have a dance REFRAIN Oh what a feast for the wedding day Still they left for the honeymoon right away Now they live far off in a hollow tree Where they have good health and children three REFRAIN 2x
