A Frog he would a-wooing go,
Heigho, says Roly!
Whether his mother would let him or no,
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Roly!

So off he set in his coat and hat,
Heigho, says Roly!
And on the way he met a rat,
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho says Anthony Roly!

“Please, Mr. Rat, will you go with me?”
Heigho, says Roly!
“Good Mrs. Mousie for to see?”
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Roly!

When they came to the door of Mousie’s hole,
Heigho says Roly!
They gave a loud knock, and they gave a loud call,
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Roly!

“Please, Mrs. Mouse, are you within?”
Heigho, says Roly!
“Oh yes, dear sirs, I am sitting to spin,”
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Roly!

“Please Mrs. Mouse will you give us some beer?”
Heigho, says Roly!
“For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer!”
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Roly!

“Please, Mr. Frog, will you give us a song?”
Heigho, says Roly!
“But let it be something that’s not very long,”
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho says Anthony Roly!

But while they were making a terrible din,
Heigho, says Roly!
The cat and her kittens came tumbling in,
With a rol-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho says Anthony Roly!

The cat she seized Mr. Rat by the crown,
Heigho, says Roly!
The kittens they pulled Mrs. Mousie down,
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Roly!

This put Mr. Frog in a terrible fright,
Heigho, says Roly!
He took up his hat and he wished them good-night,
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Anthony Roly!

But as Froggy was crossing over a brook,
Heigho, says Roly!
A lily-white duck came and swallowed him up,
With a roly-poly, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says Roly!
