Frog went a' courtin' and he did ride,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble
With a sword and a pistol buckled at his side,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
(Chorus)
Hee mo hi mo keemo kimo
Rowdy rowdy ray, oh rop strop,
Pennywinkle flannel doodle yellowbug
Rop-strop by mister gammble.
He rode right up to Mouse's house,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble
Saying, "Please won't you marry me Miss Mouse?"
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
Well, sir I cannot tell you that
You'll have to ask my Uncle Rat,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
(Chorus)
Well Uncle Rat gave his consent,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble
Now the Weasel wrote a publishment,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
Well where will the wedding be?
Way down yonder in the old oak tree,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
(Chorus)
The first to come was a little white Moth,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble
She spread her wings for a tablecloth,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
Next to come was a big black Bug
And on his back was a cider jug,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
(Chorus)
The next to come was a Bumble Bee,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble
A banjo buckled on his knee,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
The next to come was a nimble Flea
To dance the jig for the Bumble Bee,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
(Chorus)
Next to come was the old grey Goose,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble
She picked up a fiddle and she cut loose,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
Next to come were the two little Lambs
They were fixin' round to have a dance,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
(Chorus)
The Frog and the Mouse they went to France,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble
This is the end of my romance,
Rop-strop-by-mister-gammble.
(Chorus)
