DADGD
Froggie went a courtin' and he did ride… with a sword and a pistol by his side
DADGD
When he rode he came to Ms. mousie's door… where he'd often been before
DADGD
Ms. mousie came a tripin' down… green glass slippers and a golden gown
DADGD
He took Ms. mouse upon his knee… and said Ms. mouse will you marry me?
Chorus:
DAGD
Kimo cimo cimo kee, way down yonder in a hollow tree
DGDAD
Owl in the back and the bumblebee, king con kitchie kitchie caimeo
DADGD
Without my uncle Rat’s consent… for I would not marry the president
DADGD
Well, old rat laughed till he shook his sides… to think Ms. Mousie would be your bride
DADGD
What will the wedding supper be?... two butter beans and a black eyed pea
DADGD
What more would the wedding supper be?... butter cups and dew drop tea
Chorus:
DAGD
Kimo cimo cimo kee, way down yonder in a hollow tree
DGDAD
Owl in the back and the bumblebee, king con kitchie kitchie caimeo
DADGD
First came in was a silver moth… spread her wings for a table cloth
DADGD
Next came in was a bumblebee… set a little banjo on her knee
DADGD
Next came in was the old gray goose… picked up his fiddle and he cut loose
DADGD
Next came in were two little ants… they stood up to have a dance
Chorus:
DAGD
Kimo cimo cimo kee, way down yonder in a hollow tree
DGDAD
Owl in the back and the bumblebee, king con kitchie kitchie caimeo
Break (verse then chorus):
D, A, D, G, DD, A, D, G, DD, A, G, DD, G, D, A, DDADGD
Oh, what a feast for a wedding day… still they left for the honeymoon right away
DADGD
Now they live far off in a hollow tree… where they have good health and children three
Chorus(2X):
DAGD
Kimo cimo cimo kee, way down yonder in a hollow tree
DGDAD
Owl in the back and the bumblebee, king con kitchie kitchie caimeo
