Mike Oldfield - Froggy Went a Courting текст песни

The frog went a-courting in a heated ride

The frog went a-courting and he did right

The frog went a-courting on a little white horse

The sword and pistol by his side

He went down to miss mouses door

He went down to miss mouses door

He went down to miss mouses door

Where he had been many times before

Then he took miss mouse upon his knee

And he took miss mouse upon his knee

Yes, he took miss mouse upon his knee

And he said: miss mouse will you marry me?

Without my onkel rats consent

Im affraid without my onkel rats consent

Oh no, without my onkel rats consent

I would not marry the president

Then onkel rat laughed and he shock his fat side

Yes, then onkel rat laughed and he shock his fat side

Onkel rat laughed and he shock his fat side

To think that his niece would be a bride

Then he said: where will the wedding breakfast be?

Oh, where will the wedding breakfast be?

Where will the wedding breakfast be?

Way down yonder in that hollow tree?

The owls did hoot and the birds they sang

The owls did hoot and the birds they sang

And the owls did hoot and the birds they sang

Through the woods the music rang

(uk version sung by bridget st. john,

German version sung by mike oldfield)

And they all went sailing across the lake

And they all went sailing across the lake

And they all went sailing across the lake

And they got swollowed up by a big fat snake

Theres bread and cheese upon the shelf

Theres bread and cheese upon the shelf

Theres bread and cheese upon the shelf

If you want anymore you can sing it yourself

(trad. / vocals: bridget st. john / mike oldfield)
