Lyrics
[Intro] (Can you turn me up a bit?) King kong kitchee kitchee ki-mi-o [4 times and throughout song] [Verse 1] Well frog went a-courtin' and he did ride With a sword and a pistol by his side And he rode 'til he came to Miss Mouse's door And then he knelt right down upon the floor He said, "Little Miss Mouse, will you marry me Way down yonder in the hollow tree With an owl and a bat and a bumblebee?" (Shoop shoop, shoop shoop) [Verse 2] Miss Mouse had suitors, three or four And they came rushing through the door Well they grabbed Miss Mouse and began to fight In the hollow tree; it was a terrible night Yeah, "Little Miss Mouse, will you marry me Way down yonder in the hollow tree With an owl and a bat and a bumblebee?" Yeah! Yeah! [Verse 3] Mr Frog threw her suitors to the floor And with his sword and his pistol he killed them all And they went to the vicar the very next day And they left on their honeymoon right away Oh glory, glory, glory be Way down yonder in the hollow tree With an owl and a bat and a bumblebee
