"Yes sir, I'm sitting down to spin."
 
 
 
F
 
He took Miss Mouse upon his knee
 C7
 
And asked "My Dear, will you marry me?"
 
 
 
F
 
"I'll have to ask my Uncle Rat,
 C7
 
To see what he will say to that."
 
 
F
 
"Without my Uncle Rat's consent
 C7
 
I wouldn't marry the President."
 
 
F
 
Frog jumped on his snail and rode away.
 C7
 
He vowed to come another day.
 
 
 
F
 
Now Uncle Rat, when he came home
 C7
 
Asked "Who's been here since I was gone?"
 
 
 
F
 
"A very fine frog's been calling here
 C7
 
And asked for me to be his dear."
 
 
 
F
 
Uncle Rat, he laughed and shook his sides
 C7
 
To think his niece would be a bride.
 
 
 
F
 
So Uncle Rat rode into town
 C7
 
To buy Miss Mouse a wedding gown.
 
 
 
F
 
Say, where will the wedding supper be?
 C7
 
Just down by the river in a hollow tree.
 
 
 
F
 
Say, what will the wedding supper be?
 C7
 
One green bean and a black-eyed pea.
 
 
 
F
 
What else will the wedding supper be?

A fried mosquito and a roasted flea.

In a cobweb veil and her Sunday best.
 
 
F
And what did Mister Froggie wear?
 C7
 
Sky-blue pants and a doublet fair.

F
 
First guest to call was the Bumble Bee,
 C7
 
And he played them a fiddle tune upon his knee.
 
 
 
F
 
The next to come were the Duck and Drake,
 C7
 
Who ate every crumb of the wedding cake.
 
 
 
F
 
"Come Miss Mouse, may we have some beer,
 C7
 
That your uncle and I may have some cheer?"
 
 
 
F
"Pray, Mister Frog, will ye sing a song
 C7
 
That's bright and cheery and shan't last long?"
 
 
 
F
"Indeed, Miss Mouse," replied the Frog,
 C7
 
"A cold has made me as hoarse as a hog."
 
 
 
F
 
"Since a cold in the head has laid you up,
 C7
 
I'll sing you a song that I just made up."
 
 
 
F
 
The all sat down and started to chat,
 
 C7
 
When in came the kittens and the cat.
 
 
 
F
 
The bride, in fright, runs up the wall,
 C7
 
Turns her ankle and down she falls.
 
 
 
F
 
They all went sailing 'cross the lake
 C7
 
 
And all got swallowed by a big black snake.
 
 
 
F
 
And the ones who escaped were one, two, three,
 C7
 
 
The Frog, the Rat and Miss Mousie.
 
 
 
F
 
The Mouse and Frog went off to France,
 C7
 
And that's the end of their romance.
 
 
 
F
 
There's bread and jam upon the shelf,
 
 C7
 
If you want some, just help yourself.
 
 
 
 
ALTERNATE ENDING:
F
First to come in were two little ants,
 
 C7
 
Fixing around to have a dance.
 
 
 
F
 
Next to come in was a fat sassy lad,
 C7
 
Thinking himself as big as his dad.
F
 
Thinks himself a man indeed
 C7
 
Because he chews the tobacco weed.
 
 
 
F
 
And next to come in was a big tomcat,
 C7
 
He swallowed the Frog, and the Mouse and the Rat.
 
 
 
F
 
Next to come in was a big old snake,
 C7
 
He chased the party into the lake.
 
 
 
F
 
So that's the end of one, two, three,
 C7
 
The Rat, the Frog, and Miss Mousie.
 
 
Enjoy!
