Guitar-plucking intro.
Frog went a-courtin' and a-he did a-ride. Hey, hey.
((Frogie went a-courtin' and a-he did ride, Hey, hey.))
((Frogie went a-courtin' and a-he did ride,))
Sword and a pistol by his side.
((Hey, hey-hey, hey.))
Rode till he come to Miss Mouse's door. ((Hey, hey.))
Rode till he come to Miss Mouse's door. ((Hey, hey.))

Miss Mouse said, "I cain't answer that." ((Hey, hey.))

Miss Mouse said, "I cain't answer that,
Till I seen my brother, Rat.
((Hey, hey-hey, hey.))
When a-brother, Rat, gave his consent... ((Hey, hey.))
((When brother, Rat, gave his consent... Hey, hey.))
When brother, Rat, gave his consent,
The weasel wrote the public 'vent.
