He rode up to Miss Mousy's door,
a place he'd often been before.

He sat Miss Mousy on his knee,
said, "Miss Mousy, will you marry me?"

"Without my Uncle Rat's consent, (unh-unh!)
I would not marry the president.

The Uncle Rat has bought her gown,
it's a piece of fur from an old greyhound.

"Oh, where will the wedding supper be?"
Way down yonder in a holler tree.

The first to come was a little white moth,
she spread out the table cloth.

"Oh, what will the wedding supper be?"
"Dogwood berries and catnip tea."

The next to come was a Bumblebee, who danced a jig with a nimble Flea.

The next to come was a Big Black Bug.  He danced a jig on the living room rug.

The next to come was a Big Black Snake, he ate up all the wedding cake.

The next to come was a Big Black Cat, he ate up old Uncle Rat.

The Frog and the Mouse, they sailed to France.  That was the end of that romance.
