¶Lyrics / Text

A frog he would a-wooing go, ''(He jumped and jumped right away.)'' He thought it wise in doing so. ''(He jumped and jumped right away.)'' Now Sally was the name she bore, ''(Was she a bore?)'' He forth did sally to adore. ''(Or to a door?)'' “Sally,” he croaked, “I am coming to you, Oh! it is rapture by moonlight to woo; Prithee then keep your dear eyes wide awake, Boldly I come by the edge of the lake.” ''(And don’t you forget, love. D’ye hear?)''
