Subject: RE: Lyrics: frog went a courtin
Backpacking for two weeks, in New Mexico, at Philmont, in 1968, with a crew drawn from across the United States one chap sang this version.

(Uh-Huh, Uh-Huh, is the refrain in the standard location)

Froggy went a courtin' and he did go
to the Coconut Grove for the midnight show.

Well, Molly mouse was the hat-check-girl
He though that he'd give Molly mouse a whirl

He sauntered up to Molly's side,
Said, Molly mouse won't you be my bride?

Sorry, Jack you better hit the road,
You ain't a frog you're a horny toad.
