SPOKEN:
This is a story about a hip frog.
And we're gonna pick up on it now and
he's on his way out to do some shuckin' and jivin'.
You'll be able to tell right away that he's a big mover.

Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go, un-huh
Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go, un-huh
Frogg went a-courtin' and he did go
To the Coconut Grove for the midnight show, un-huh un-huh un-huh

He thought he'd give this chick a whirl, woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo
He sauntered up to Mollie Mouse's side, un-huh
[spoken: the direct approach]
He sauntered up to Mollie Mouse's side, un-huh
