[VERSE 1]
[C]Mister Frog went a-courtin, and [F]he did ride, uh-[C]hum
A sword and buckler by his side, uh-[G7]hum
He [C]bridled and saddled a big fat snail
And [F]rode it 'tween the horns and tail,
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]huh, uh-[C]hum.

[VERSE 2]
He [C]rode up to Miss [F]Mousie's door,
uh-[C]hum
He'd been there many times before.
uh-[G7]hum
He [C]called "Miss Mouse, are you within?"
"Yes [F]sir, I'm sitting down to spin."
uh-[C]hum uh-[G7]hum uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 3]
[C]He took Miss Mouse up-[F]on his knee
uh-[C]hum

And asked "My Dear, will you marry me?"
uh-[G7]hum
Yes [F]I will take good care of you
We'll [F]live together in an apple tree
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 4]
"I'll [C]have to ask my [F]Uncle Rat, uh-[C]hum
To see what he will say to that." uh-[G7]hum
"With-[C]out my Uncle Rat's consent
I [F]would not marry the President."
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 5]
I [C]hope your Uncle [F]Rat agrees uh-[F]hum
For then I would be very pleased uh-[C]hum
Frog [C]jumped on his snail and rode away.
He [F]vowed to come another day.
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 6]
[C]Now Uncle Rat, when [F]he came home
uh-[C]hum
Asked "Who's been here since I was gone?"
uh-[G7]hum
"A [C]very fine frog's been calling here
And [F]asked for me to be his dear."
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 7]
Now [C]Uncle Rat laughed, he [F]shook his sides
uh-[C]hum
To think his niece would be a bride.
uh-[G7]hum
So [C]Uncle Rat rode into town
To [F]buy Miss Mouse a wedding gown.
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 8]
[C]Say, where will the wedding [F]supper be?
uh-[C]hum
Just down by the river in a hollow tree.
uh-[G7]hum
Say, [C]what will the wedding supper be?
[F]One green bean and a black-eyed pea.
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 9]
Please [C]tell us how Miss [F]Mousie dressed?
uh-[C]hum
In a cobweb veil and her Sunday best.

And [C]what did Mister Froggie wear?
[F]Sky-blue pants and a doublet fair.
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 10]
First [C]guest to call was the [F]Bumble Bee,
uh-[C]hum
He played a fiddle tune on his knee.
uh-[G7]hum
The [C]next to come were the Duck and Drake,
Who [F]ate every crumb of the wedding cake.
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 11]
Now [C]in came the band the [F]Very Fine Flees uh-[C]hum
To play some songs and all where pleased uh-[G7]hum
It [C]realy was a very good chance
So [F]up they jumped to sing and dance
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum

[VERSE 12]
I [C]thank you all for [F]listening to this [C]song
I hope it was not all that very [G7]long
For [C]now it's time for it to end
I [F]hope you'll all come back again
uh-[C]hum, uh-[G7]hum, uh-[C]hum
