The Frog Who Would a-Wooing Go

"The Frog Who Would a-Wooing Go" is a traditional folk song telling the story of a frog attempting to find a mate. The frog visits various animals—such as a mouse, a cat, a dog, and others—each in turn, seeking a partner. However, each encounter ends with the animal refusing the frog's company, often because of the frog's persistence or perceived unworthiness. The song uses humorous and repetitive lyrics to depict the frog's playful and determined pursuit of love, highlighting themes of courtship and social interactions through a lighthearted, rhythmic narrative.
