A frog he would a -wooing go,
Hey -ho, says Roly
A frog he would a -wooing go,
Whether his mother would let him or no
With a Roly -Poly, Gammon an d Spinach,
Hey -ho, says Anthony Ro ly
So off he set with his opera hat,
Hey -ho, says Roly
So off he set with his opera hat,
And on the way he met with a rat
With a roly -poly, Gammon an d Spinach,
Hey ho! says Antony Rowley
They rode till they came to Mou sey Hall,
Hey ho! says Rowley
They rode till they came to Mousey Hall,
And there they both did
a knock and a call
With a roly -poly, Gammon and Spinach,
Hey ho! says Antony Rowley
Pray Mrs Mouse, are you within?
Hey ho! says Rowley
Pray Mrs. Mouse, are you within?
Oh yes, I hear, I sit and I spin
With a roly -poly, Gammon an d Spinach
Hey ho, says Antony Rowley
Then Mrs. Mouse, she did come down
Hey ho, says Rowley
Then Mrs. Mouse, she did come down
All smartly dressed in a russet gown
With a roly -poly, Gammon an d Spinach
Hey ho, says Antony Rowley
The cat she sees,
Monster wrapped by the crown
Hey -ho, says Roly,
The cat she sees must
have ran by the crown,
The kitten she pulled Mrs Mousy down.
With a roly -poly, Gammon and Spinach,
Hey -ho, says Anthony Roly,
This put Mr Frog in a terrible fright.
Hey -ho, says Roly,
This put Mr Frog in a terrible fright,
He took up his hat
and he wished them goodnight.
With a roly -poly, Gammon an d Spinach,
Hey -ho, says Anthony Roly,
And as he was passing over the brook,
Hey ho! says Roly
And as he was passing over the brook,
A lily -white duck came
and gobbled him up
With a roly -poly, gammon and spinach
Hey ho! says Antony Ro ly
So there's an end of one, two and three
Hey ho! says Roly
So there's an end of one, two and three
The rat, the mouse and the little froggie
With a roly -poly, gammon and spinach
Stay home, says Anthony Rowley
