Introduction -- Frolie Grasshopper Circus

This little trick we give you here to show / A right good thing which everyone should know

Don't be afraid! His playfulness denotes / That, fed on grain, he sometimes feels his oats

This act is harder than the first by far / This noted 'hopper is our leading star

Now thro' the hoop he jumps with perfect ease / Life 'Quaker Oats' he never fails to please

To walk a rope and keep a level head / Needs only care and 'Quaker Oats' 'tis said

So off he set with his opera hat / And on the road he met with a rat

'Pray Mr Rat, will you go with me, / Kind Mrs Mousey for to see?'

They Came to the Door of Mousey's Hall, / They gave a loud knock, and a loud call

'Pray Mrs Mouse, are you within?' / 'Oh, yes, kind sirs, I'm sitting to spin'

'Pray Mrs Mouse, will you give us some beer? / For Froggy and I are fond of good cheer'

'Pray, Mr Frog, will you give us a song? / But let it be something that's not very long'

'Indeed, Mrs Mouse,' replied the Frog / 'A cold has made me as hoarse as a hog'

'As you have a Cold Mr Frog,' Mousey said, / 'I'll sing you a song that I have just made'

But while they were all a-merry-making / The cat and the Kitten came tumbling in

The cat and the kitten pull'd the little mouse down

This put Mr Frog in a terrible fright; / He took up his hat, and he wished them good-night

But as Froggy was crossing over a brook, / A terrible duck came and gobbled him up

So there was an end of one, two, and three, / The Rat, the Mouse, and the little Frog-gee!
