Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride
With a sword and a pistol by his side, uh-huh.
Well he rode right up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousey's door
Gave three loud raps and a very big roar, uh-huh.
Said, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?" uh-huh
Said he, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?" uh-huh
Said, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?"
"Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin," uh-huh.
He took Miss Mousey on his knee, uh-huh
Took Miss Mousey on his knee, uh-huh
Took Miss Mousey on his knee
Said, "Miss Mousey, will you marry me ?" uh-huh.
"Without my uncle Rat's consent, uh-huh
Without my uncle Rat's consent, uh-huh
Without my uncle Rat's consent
I wouldn't marry the president, uh-huh".
Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides, uh-huh
Uncle Rat laughed and he shook his fat sides
To think his niece would be a bride, uh-huh.
Uncle rat went runnin' downtown, uh-huh
Uncle rat went runnin' downtown, uh-huh
Uncle rat went runnin' downtown
To buy his niece a wedding gown, uh-huh.
Where shall the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
Where shall the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
Where shall the wedding supper be ?
Way down yonder in a hollow tree, uh-huh.
What should the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
What should the wedding supper be ? uh-huh
What should the wedding supper be ?
Fried mosquito in a black-eyed pea, uh-huh.
Well, first to come in was a flyin' moth, uh-huh.
First to come in was a flyin' moth, uh-huh.
First to come in was a flyin' moth
She laid out the table cloth, uh-huh.
Next to come in was a juney bug, uh-huh
Next to come in was a juney bug, uh-huh
Next to come in was a juney bug
She brought the water jug, uh-huh.
Next to come in was a bumbley bee, uh-huh
Next to come in was a bumbley bee, uh-huh
Next to come in was a bumbley bee
Sat mosquito on his knee, uh-huh.
Next to come in was a broken black flea, uh-huh
Next to come in was a broken black flea, uh-huh
Next to come in was a broken black flea
Danced a jig with the bumbley bee, uh-huh.
Next to come in was Mrs. Cow, uh-huh
Next to come in was Mrs. Cow, uh-huh
Next to come in was Mrs. Cow
She tried to dance but she didn't know how, uh-huh.
Next to come in was a little black tick, uh-huh
Next to come in was a little black tick, uh-huh
Next to come in was a little black tick
She ate so much she made us sick, uh-huh.
Next to come in was a big black snake, uh-huh
Next to come in was a big black snake, uh-huh
Next to come in was a big black snake
Ate up all of the wedding cake, uh-huh.
Next to come in was the old gray cat, uh-huh
Next to come in was the old gray cat, uh-huh
Next to come in was the old gray cat
Swallowed the mouse and ate up the rat, uh-huh.Mr.
Frog went a-hoppin' up over the brook, uh-huh
Mr. Frog went a-hoppin' up over the brook, uh-huh
Mr. Frog went a-hoppin' up over the brook
A lily-whit duck come and swallowed him up, uh-huh.
A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf, uh-huh
A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf, uh-huh
A little piece of cornbread layin' on a shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself, uh-huh.
Bob Dylan

Раковая Свадьба
К мышке поехал свататься рак, угу,
К мышке поехал свататься рак, угу,
К мышке поехал свататься рак,
Надел перчатки, цилиндр и фрак, угу.
К невесте он мчался во весь опор, угу,
К невесте он мчался во весь опор, угу,
К невесте он мчался во весь опор
И через час прибыл к ней на двор, угу.
Три раза в дверь он постучал
И во весь голос потом закричал:
"Ты дома ли, мышка, душа моя?"
"Да дома, сижу-вышиваю я.
За талию мышку обняв клешней,
Рак спросил: "Будешь моей женой?!"
Пусть тётя-крыса согласие даст.
Без этого я не пойду за вас!
Тётя-крыса сказала: "Любезный рак,
От всей души одобряю ваш брак!
Давайте поедем сейчас все вместе
И купим платье с фатой невесте."
"И где потом будет свадебный ужин?"
"Да тут, за углом, у ближайшей лужи."
"И что же будет там на столе?"
"Из комаров и личинок суфле."
Первым явился туда богомол
И скатерть он постелил на стол,
Затем прилетели шпанские мушки
И пиво разлили в большие кружки;
Явился затем уже пьяный шмель
И завалился спать в постель,
Однако же, муравьи и тля
Тотчас взялись будить шмеля.
А дальше - хуже: жук-носорог
Пришёл и вмиг сожрал весь пирог.
Затем заявилась вообще корова;
Хотела спеть, но не знала ни слова.
Пришёл последним кот белобрысый
И слопал невесту и тётю-крысу.
К реке огородами рак отступал,
Но тут гусак на него напал.
С клешнями съел его и с усами...
Хотите ещё, пойте дальше сами.
