Look for "Kemo Kimo" in the DT and forum and you'll probably find various versions.

One I recall (from grade school) went:

Kemo kimo, re do art,
Me hee, me hi, me hum drum pussy willow,
Tit-tat pitty pat,
A blue eyed kitty kat,
Sing-song, kitty, can't you ki-mee-oh!

The Chubby Parker version is the one with the whistling in it, right? That's one of the versions we do and, since neither of us can whistle worth a damn, we use a tin whistle. Now our favorite tin whistle is a Clarke C whistle, we play the song in, what else, C.

We found the chords to be quite straightforward: C, F, G7.

C                                       F      C
Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride                        
                                     G7
King kong kitchie kitchie ki me o
          C                            F      C
With a sword and a pistol by his side
                     G7             C
King kong kitchie kitchie ki me o

chorus:
C
Ki mo ke mo ki mo ke
F                G7            C      G7
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
      C                            F         C
An owl and a bat and a bumble bee
                G7                C
King kong kitchie kitchie ki me o
