She swallowed the rat and ate up the rat
Mr. Frog went a jumpin' over the brook
A lily white duck came and swallowed him up
Little piece of corn bread lying on the shelf

An ancient version:
The Bull Frog
There was a bull frog living in the spring
Sing song Polly won't you ky-me-o;
He had such a cold that he could not sing
Sing song Polly won't you ky-me-o;
chorus:
Keemo, kymo darowah
Mahee, mahi, maho
Nit cap ko bomadiddle nit cap set back
Sing song Polly won't you ky-me-o;
Oh, I took him out and laid him on the ground
The bull frog winked and looked all around
He rode away to get him a bride
With a sword and a pistol by his side.
But the sun shone bright for there was no rain
So the bull frog jumped in the pond again.
