• Froggie Went A-Couritn' (1959)

Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride, hm-m.
Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride,
A sword and a pistol by his side, hm-m.

He went down to Missie Mousie's door, hm-m.
He went down to Missie Mousie's door,
Where he had been many times before, hm-m.

"Missie Mouse, are you within?", hm-m.
"Missie Mouse, are you within?"
"Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin", hm-m.

Took Missie Mouse upon his knee, hm-m.
Took Missie Mouse upon his knee,
Said, "Missie Mouse, will you marry me?", hm-m.

"Without my Uncle Rat's consent", hm-m.
"Without my Uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the president", hm-m.

Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides, hm-m.
Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides,
To think his niece would be a bride, hm-m.

When Uncle Rat did his consent, hm-m.
When Uncle Rat did his consent,
The weasel wrote the publishment, hm-m.

Next came in was a bumblebee, hm-m.
Next came in was a bumblebee,
Danced a jig with a two-leg flea, hm-m.

They all did hoot and the birds they sang, hm-m.
They all did hoot and the birds they sang
And through the woods the music rang, hm-m.

Where will the wedding breakfast be? Hm-m.
Where will the wedding breakfast be?
He went down yonder in a hollow tree, hm-m.

What will the wedding breakfast be? Hm-m.
What will the wedding breakfast be?
Two green beans and a black-eyed pea, hm-m.

They all went sailing across the lake, hm-m.
They all went sailing across the lake
And got swallowed up by a big black snake, hm-m.

There's bread and cheese upon the shelf, hm-m.
There's bread and cheese upon the shelf.
If you want anymore you can take it yourself, hm-m.
