The Frog and the Mouse
There was a frog lived in a spring
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
He was so fat that he could not swim
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
He-me-oh
Me-kie-me-oh
Me-deary-oh-me-well
Me-hi-me-ho
Me-in comes Sally singing
Sometime-periwinkle
In steps nip cat
Hit him with a brick bat
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
Who's been here since I've been gone?
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
A pretty little man with his new shoes on
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
He-me-oh
Me-kie-me-oh
Me-deary-oh-me-well
Me-hi-me-ho
Me-in comes Sally singing
Sometime-periwinkle
In steps nip cat
Hit him with a brick bat
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
A pretty little dandy man, said she
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
With a crooked back and striped knee
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
He-me-oh
Me-kie-me-oh
Me-deary-oh-me-well
Me-hi-me-ho
Me-in comes Sally singing
Sometime-periwinkle
In steps nip cat
Hit him with a brick bat
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
The frog went a-swimmin' across the lake
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
He got swallowed by a big black snake
Sing-song-kitty-cant-you-kie-me-oh
He-me-oh
Me-kie-me-oh
Me-deary-oh-me-well
Me-hi-me-ho
Me-in comes Sally singing
Sometime-periwinkle
In steps nip cat
Hit him with a brick bat
