A Frog he would a-wooing go,
Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
Whether his Mother would let him or no.
With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

So off he set with his opera-hat,
                Heigho, says rowley! 
And on his way he met with a Rat.
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says Anthony rowley!

“Pray, Mr. Rat, will you go with me,”
                Heigho, says rowley! 
“Pretty Miss mousey for to see?”
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says Anthony rowley!

Now they soon arrived at Mousey’s Hall,
                Heigho, says rowley! 
And gave a loud knock, and gave a loud call.
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

“Pray, Miss MOUSEY, are you within?”
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
“Oh, yes, kind Sirs, I’m sitting to spin.”
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

“Pray, Miss MOUSE, will you give us some beer?”
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
“For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer.”
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho says, ANTHONY ROWLEY!

“Pray, Mr. FROG, will you give us a song?
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
“But let it be something that’s not very long.”
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

“Indeed, Miss MOUSE,” replied Mr FROG,
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
“A cold has made me as hoarse as a Hog.”
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

“Since you have caught cold,” Miss MOUSEY said.
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
“I’ll sing you a song that I have just made.”
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

But while they were all thus a merry-making,
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
A Cat and her Kittens came tumbling in.
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

The Cat she seized the Rat by the crown;
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
The Kittens they pulled the little Mouse down.
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

This put Mr. FROG in a terrible fright;
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
He took up his hat, and he wished them good night.
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

But as Froggy was crossing a silvery brook,
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
A lily-white Duck came and gobbled him up.
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!

So there was an end of one, two, and three,
                Heigho, says ROWLEY! 
The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Frog-gee!
            With a rowley-powley, gammon and spinach,
                Heigho, says ANTHONY ROWLEY!
