SPOKEN:

This is a story about a hip frog.

And we're gonna pick up on it now and

he's on his way out to do some shuckin' and jivin'.

You'll be able to tell right away that he's a big mover.



SINGING:

Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go, un-huh

Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go, un-huh

Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go

To the Coconut Grove for the midnight show, un-huh un-huh un-huh



Mollie Mouse was the hat-check girl, woo-woo

[spoken: he knew it all the time]

Mollie Mouse was the hat-check girl, woo-woo

Mollie Mouse was the hat-check girl

He thought he'd give this chick a whirl, woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo



He sauntered up to Mollie Mouse's side, un-huh

[spoken: the direct approach]

He sauntered up to Mollie Mouse's side, un-huh

When he got up to Mollie Mouse's side

He whispered "Mollie will you be my bride?" un-huh un-huh un-huh



Not without my Uncle Rat's consent, uh-uh

[spoken: her uncle wrestles on TV]

Not without my Uncle Rat's consent, uh-uh

Not without my Uncle Rat's consent

I wouldn't marry the President, uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh



Well, she said "That's it, Clyde, better hit the road, farewell"

"That's it, Clyde, better hit the road, goodbye"

"That's it, Clyde, better hit the road"

"You ain't no frog you're a horned toad, farewell, goodbye, adios"

Farewell, goodbye, adios

[spoken: You know, I believe that,uh,

any more verses to this song would be anticlimactic;

think we ought to end it]

Farewell, goodbye, adios

[spoken: Hey, ain't you gonna let me finish up?]

Farewell, goodbye, adios

[spoken: Aw, shut up, I'm your leader]

[spoken: No, no hands, no hands]

FADE:

[spoken: Auf Wiedersehen]

Farewell, goodbye, adios

Farewell, goodbye, adios
