    The frog he polished his boots and spurs
    The mouse to go to see
    Lady mouse are you within
    Yes kind sir I am going to Mill
    Catsy macary kue Kitty above Kitty alone Kitty alone and I.
    II
    Lady mouse will you marry me
    Ask my Uncle Rat said she
    Uncle Rat will you give me Lady mouse
    Yes kind sir and half my house
    Catsy Macary kue Kitty alone Kitty alone Kitty alone and I.
    III
    Once I was at dinner sat
    In came a bouncing a rat
    And swallowed up all the lot
    Catsy Macary kue Kitty alone Kitty alone Kitty alone and I.
