lyrics

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-kee-mo-ki-mo-kee
Way down yonder in the hollow tree
with the owl and the bat and the bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

He took Miss Mouse up on his knee
way down yonder in the hollow tree
with the owl and the bat and the bumblebee
king kong kitcha kitcha ki-me-o

He said "little mouse will you marry me?"
way down yonder in the hollow tree
with the owl and the bat and the 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 through the door
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-kee-mo-ki-mo-kee
Way down yonder in the hollow tree
with the owl and the bat and the 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 it was a terrible night
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Miss Mouse turned away she couldn't bear to look
the tree did groan as it sway and it shook
with the rain and the thunder and the rippling brook
king kong kitchie kitchie ki me o

Mister Hare wound up for his fierce left hook
the tree did groan as it sway and it shook
Mister Frog got low and Mister Hare mistook
his position for a duck and not a seismic throw

Mister Frog hurled the suitors to the floor
King kong kitchie kitchie seismic throw
With his sword and his pistol he killed all four
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-kee-mo-ki-mo-kee
Cold manslaughter in the second degree
With the owl and the bat and the bumblebee
King kong kitchie kitchie crime-eo

They went to the parson the very next day
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
And left on their honeymoon right away
King kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-kee-mo-ki-mo-kee
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
