nds all round and down the middle;
Oh! oh! oh! oh! away we go!
Hopping and jumping away we go!
2. Some stern old croakers there did come,
In white chokers to the room;
While the belles with rush-leaf fans,
Danc'd with beaux in green brogans,
Flirted in the bowers there,
Hidden from the ball-room's glare:
Three old froggies tried a reel,--
Twist 'em, turn 'em, toe and heel,
With a oh! oh! oh! away we go!
Hopping and jumping away we go!
3. One little Miss was ask'd to sing,
But she had a cold that spring;
Little frogs were sound asleep,
Late hours--bad for them to keep.
Each one wish'd the couple joy,
No bad boys came to annoy:
This next fall the news is spreading
They will have their silver wedding!
Oh! oh! oh! oh! away we go!
Hopping and jumping away we go!
