"F# very fine frog's been calling here

To think his niece would be a bride.

One green bean and a black-eyed pea.

E7
Who ate every crumb of the wedding cake.
A
"Come Miss Mouse, may we have some beer,
E7
That your uncle and I may have some cheer?"
A
"Pray, Mister Frog, will ye sing a song
E7
That's bright and cheery and shan't last long?"
A
"Indeed, Miss Mouse," replied the Frog,
E7
"F# cold has made me as hoarse as a hog."
A
"Since a cold in the head has laid you up,

The all sat down and started to chat,
E7
When in came the kittens and the cat.
A
The bride, in fright, runs up the wall,
E7
Turns her ankle and down she falls.

E7
And all got swallowed by a big black snake.

The Frog, the Rat and Miss Mousie.

And that's the end of their romance.

E7
Fixing around to have a dance.

E7
Thinking himself as big as his dad.

Thinks himself a man indeed
E7
Because he chews the tobacco weed.
A
And next to come in was a big tomcat,
E7
He swallowed the Frog, and the Mouse and the Rat.
A
Next to come in was a big old snake,
E7
He chased the party into the lake.
A
So that's the end of one, two, three,
E7
The Rat, the Frog, and Miss Mousie.
