Frog Went a Courting - Pete Seeger

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
