about

Traditional, as recorded by Chubby Parker, 1928

lyrics

Froggie went a courting and he did ride
King kong kitchie kitchie ki me o
with a sword and a pistol by his side
King kong kitchie kitchie ki me o

Ki-mo-ke-mo, ki-mo-ke
Way down yonder in the hollow tree
With the owl and the bat and the bumble bee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o


Well he rode til he came to Miss Mousie’s door
and there he knelt upon the floor

He took Miss Mouse upon his knee
and he said, “Little mouse, won’t you marry me?”

Miss Mouse had suitors three or four
and they burst on through that kitchen door

They grabbed Mr. Frog and began to fight
In the hollow tree it was a terrible night

Mr. Frog brought the suitors to the floor
and with the sword and the pistol he killed all four

Well they went to the parson the very next day
and they left on their honeymoon right away

Now they live far off in a hollow tree
and they now have wealth and children three
