Frog went a courtin' and he did ride
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
With a sword and pistol by his side
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Ki-mo-ki-mo-ki-mo-ki
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
He rode 'til he came to miss mouse's door
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
And there he knelt upon the floor
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Ki-mo-ki-mo-ki-mo-ki
Way down yonder in the hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
He took Miss Mouse upon his knee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
And he said, Little
mouse
will
you
marry
me?
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Ki-mo-ki-mo-ki-mo-ki
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Miss Mouse had suitors three or four
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
And there they came right in the door
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Ki-mo-ki-mo-ki-mo-ki
Way down yonder in the hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
They grabbed Mister Frog and began to fight
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
In that hollow tree 'twas a terrible night
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Ki-mo-ki-mo-ki-mo-ki
Way down yonder in the hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Mister Frog hurled the suitors to the floor
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
With his sword and his pistol he killed all four
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Ki-mo-ki-mo-ki-mo-ki
Way down yonder in the hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
They went to the park on the very next day
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
And left on their honeymoon right away
Ki-mo-ki-mo-ki-mo-ki
Way down yonder in the hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Now they live far off in a hollow tree
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Where they now have wealth and children three
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
