Song Lyrics

Verse 1
Frog he would a-wooing go -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
Whether his mother was willing or no.
Chorus
To my roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho! Says Anthony Rowley.
Verse 2
Then off he went with his opera hat -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
And on the road he met with a rat.
Chorus
Verse 3
And when they came to Miss Mouse's hole -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
They gave a loud knock and gave a loud call.
Chorus
Verse 4
Oh, please Miss Mouse are you within? -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
Oh yes, kind sires, I'm sitting to spin.
Chorus
Verse 5
Oh, please Miss Mouse, will you draw us some beer? -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
That we may sit down and have good cheer?
Chorus
Verse 6
Oh, please Miss Mouse, will sing us a song? -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
One that is pretty, but not very long?
Chorus
Verse 7
Now just as they were a-merry making -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
The cat and kittens came tumbling in.
Chorus
Verse 8
The cat he seized the rat by the crown -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
The kittens they tumbled the little mouse down.
Chorus
Verse 9
This put the frog in a terrible fright -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
So he picked up his hat and wished them good night.
Chorus
Verse 10
But just as he was crossing the brook -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
A lily white duck ran and gobbled him up.
Chorus
Verse 11
So there was an end of the one, two and three -
Heigho! Says Rowley;
The rat, the frog and the little mousie.
