Say, do you know how to say, "Mm hmm"?
Well, say, "Mm hmm" right after me in this song
And if I say somethin' else like, "Oho"
Why, you say, "Oho" too
Frog went a courtin', he did ride, mm hmm, mm hmm
Like that
Frog went a courtin', and he did ride
Sword and pistol by his side, mm hmm, mm hmm
Now, I'm not gonna say it
From now on, you have to
He rode up to Miss Mousey's door, mm hmm
He rode up to Miss Mousey's door
Gave three raps and a very loud roar, mm hmm
Said he, "Miss Mouse, are you within?" Oho
Said he, "Miss Mouse, are you within?"
"Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin," mm hmm, mm
He took Miss Mousey on his knee-ee-ee, he
He took Miss Mousey on his knee
Said, "Miss Mousey, will you marry me-ee-ee?" Oho
"Well, without my Uncle Rat's consent, uh huh
Without my Uncle Rat's consent
I would not marry the President, mm hmm, uh huh"
Well, Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides, uh huh
Well, Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides
To think that his niece would be a bride, haha
Uncle Rat went a-runnin' down to town, uh huh
Uncle Rat went a-runnin' down to town
To buy his niece a wedding gown, uh huh
Well, where will the wedding supper be? Glug glug
Where will the wedding supper be?
Way down yonder in a hollow tree, glug glug
And what will the wedding supper be? Uh huh
What will the wedding supper be?
A fried mosquito and a black eyed pea, zzzt, zzzt, zzzt
And first come in was a flyin' moth, uh huh
First come in was a flyin' moth
She laid out the table cloth, uh huh, uh huh
And next to come in was a juney old bug, uh huh, glum glum
Next come in was a juney bug
Carrying a big water jug, uh huh
Well, next come in was a bumbley bee, zzzt, zzzt, zzzt, zzzt
Next come in was a bumbley bee
Balancin' a fiddle on his knee, bzzt, zzzt, zzzt, zzzt, zzzt
And next come in was a broken back flea, uh huh
Next come in was a broken back flea
And he danced a jig with a bumbley bee, uh huh, uh huh
Next come in was Missus Cow, uh huh, uh huh
Now, next come in was Missus Cow
She tried to dance, but she didn't know how, uh huh, uh huh
Next come in was a little black tick, uh huh, uh huh
Next come in was a little black tick
And he ate so much he made himself sick, uh huh, uh huh
Next come in was Doctor Fly, uh huh, uh huh
Next come in was Doctor Fly
Said, "Miss Tick, you'll surely die," uh huh, uh huh
Next come in was a big black snake, sssst, sssst, sssst, sssst
Next come in was a big black snake
Ate up all of the wedding cake, uh huh, uh huh
And next come in was an old gray cat, uh huh, uh huh
Next come in was an old gray cat
Swallowed the mouse and ate up the rat, uh huh, uh huh
And Mister Frog went a-hoppin' over the brook, uh huh, uh huh
Mister Frog went a-hoppin' up the brook
And a lily white duck come and swallowed him up, uh huh, uh huh
Now, a little piece of cornbread layin' on my shelf, uh huh, uh huh
A little piece of cornbread layin' on the shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
