Lyrics Laura Veirs – King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki–Me–O

Froggie went a courting and he did ride
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
With a sword and a pistol by his side
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-ke-mo ki-mo-ke
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumble bee
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

He rode till he came to miss mousie’s door
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
And there he knelt upon the floor
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-ke-mo ki-mo-ke
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumble bee
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

He took miss mouse upon his knee
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
And he said little mouse will you marry me
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-ke-mo ki-mo-ke
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumble bee
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Miss mouse had suitors three or four
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
And there they came right in the door
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-ke-mo ki-mo-ke
Way down yonder in a hollow tree

Mr. Frog brought the suitors to the floor
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
With the sword and the pistol he showed all four
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-ke-mo ki-mo-ke
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumble bee
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Now they live far off in a hollow tree
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
Where they now have wealth and children three
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o

Ki-mo-ke-mo ki-mo-ke
Way down yonder in a hollow tree
An owl and a bat and a bumble bee
King Kong kitchie kitchie ki-me-o
