Mr. Froggie Went A-Courtin'

(앨범: Sings Little White Duck And Other Children's Favorites - 1959)

A frog went a courting and he did ride, mmm-hmmm
A frog went a courting and he did ride
A sword and a pistol by his side, mmm-hmmm

He went down to Missy Mouse's door, mmm-hmmm
He went down to Missy Mouse's door
Where he had been many times before, mmm-hmmm

"Missy Mouse, are you within?" mmm-hmmm
"Missy Mouse, are you within?"
"Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin." mmm-hmmm

Took Missy Mouse upon his knee, mmm-hmmm
Took Missy Mouse upon his knee
Said, "Missy Mouse, will you marry me?" mmm-hmmm

Without my Uncle Rat's consent, mmm-hmmm
Without my Uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the president, mmm-hmmm

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

When Uncle Rat did his consent, mmm-hmmm
When Uncle Rat did his consent
The weasel wrote the publishment, mmm-hmmm

Next came in was a bumblebee, mmm-hmmm
Next came in was a bumblebee
Danced a jig with a two-legged flea, mmm-hmmm

The owl did hoot and the birds they sang, mmm-hmmm
The owl did hoot and the birds they sang
And through the woods the music rang, mmm-hmmm

Where will the wedding breakfast be? mmm-hmmm
Where will the wedding breakfast be?
He went down yonder in a hollow tree, mmm-hmmm

What will the wedding breakfast be? mmm-hmmm
What will the wedding breakfast be?
Two green beans and a black-eyed pea, mmm-hmmm

They all went sailing across the lake, mmm-hmmm
They all went sailing across the lake
And got swallowed up by a big black snake, mmm-hmmm

There's bread and cheese upon the shelf, mmm-hmmm
There's bread and cheese upon the shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself, mmm-hmmm
