To think his niece would be a bride Uncle Rat went runnin'downtown ah, ah ... To buy his niece a wedding gown Where shall the wedding supper be ah, ah ... Way down yonder in the hollow tree What shall the wedding supper be ah, ah ... Fried mosquito and a Black Eyed pea First to come in was a Flying moth ah, ah She layed out the table cloth Next to come in was a Juney Bug ah, ah ... She brought the water jug Next to come in was a Bumble Bee ah, ah ... Sat Mosquito on his knee Next to come in was a Broken Back Flee ah, ah ... Danced a jig with the Bumble Bee Next to come in was Miss Cow ah, ah... She tried to dance but she didn't know how Next to come in was a Little Black Tick ah, ah... She ate so much, made her sick Next to come in was the Big Black Snack ah, ah... Ate up all the wedding cake Next to come in was the Old Gray Cat ah, ah... Swallowed the mouse and ate up the rat Mr Frog went a-hoppin up over the broke... A Lily White Dove came and swallowed him up Little piece of corn bread layin'on the shelf...

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une petite grenouille qui, monté sur son cheval, se rend chez une souris pour lui demander sa main. Avec bravoure, il frappe à la porte et lui fait sa proposition, mais l'unique condition de la souris repose sur l'accord de son oncle, le rat. Ce dernier, amusé par la situation, part acheter une robe de mariée pour sa nièce. La célébration se déroule dans un endroit pittoresque, avec un festin concocté à partir d'ingrédients inattendus. Cependant, la fête prend une tournure dramatique lorsque des invités inattendus provoquent le chaos, aboutissant à une fin croquignole où la grenouille se fait avaler. Le contexte de la chanson évoque des thèmes de l'amour, de la famille et des conséquences inattendues des actions des personnages. C'est une belle fable sur les relations et les décisions qui peuvent sembler farfelues mais qui révèlent des vérités sur la vie.
