Thread Name: Lyr Req: frog went a courtin (Cheshire)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: frog went a courtin
I have an EP with Duncan Macrae reciting a very scottish version of the Frog and the Mouse. The meaningless chorus goes: "cuddy alang, cuddy alangcock ma cary, cuddy alang, cuddy alang and " plus "sing kinkum keerie con dum down, cuddy alang and I"
I'll try and transcribe the rest but it's quite long. The gist is that Froggie comes to court Miss Mousie who has to obtain her uncle Rat's consent and then the wedding takes place. The Duck attacks the wedding breakfast and mayhem breaks out.
