sword and pistol by his side;

a-huh, a-huh.

He rode down to Miss Mouse´s door, a-huh, a-huh;
he roud down to Miss Mouse´s door,
where he had often been before, a-huh, a-huh.

He took Miss Mousie on his knee, a-huh, a-huh;
he took Miss Mousie on his knee,
said: ´Miss Mousie will you marry me?´ A-huh, a-huh.

´I´ll have to ask my uncle Rat...
see what he will say to that.´,...

´Without my uncle Rat´s consent,...
I would not marry the President.´

Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides,
to think his niece would be a bride.

Uncle Rat rode off to town
to buy his niece a wedding gown.

´Where will the wedding supper be?´
´Way down yonder in a hollow tree.´

´What will the wedding supper be?´
´A fried mosquito and a roasted flea.´

The first to come in were two ants,
crawling around to have a dance.

Next to come in was a bumble bee,
bouncing a fiddle on his knee.

Next to come in was a boy,
playing ´round with his toy.

And next to come in was a big tomcat,
that swallowed the frog, mouse and rat.
