1. The frog who would a-wooing go, Gave a party, you must know; And his bride dress'd all in green, Look'd as fine as any queen. Their reception number'd some Of the best in Froggiedom: Four gray froggies play'd the fiddle,— Hands all round and down the middle; Oh! oh! oh! oh! away we go! Hopping and jumping away we go! 2. Some stern old croakers there did come, In white chokers to the room; While the belles with rush-leaf fans, Danc'd with beaux in green brogans, Flirted in the bowers there, Hidden from the ball-room's glare: Three old froggies tried a reel,— Twist 'em, turn 'em, toe and heel, With a oh! oh! oh! away we go! Hopping and jumping away we go! 3. One little Miss was ask'd to sing, But she had a cold that spring; Little frogs were sound asleep, Late hours—bad for them to keep. Each one wish'd the couple joy, No bad boys came to annoy: This next fall the news is spreading They will have their silver wedding! Oh! oh! oh! oh! away we go! Hopping and jumping away we go!
