A Frog he would a-wooing go by Alfred Ben Allen — Lyrics
A frog he would awooing go,
(He jumped and jumped right away.)
He thought it wise in doing so.
(He jumped and jumped right away.)
Now Sally was the name she bore,
(Was she a bore?)
He forth did sally to adore.

About A Frog he would a-wooing go
Alfred Ben Allen’s setting of A Frog he would a-wooing go is a humorous SATB part-song in English. The text recounts the amorous adventures of a frog attempting to woo his lady love, Sally, with an often-absurd commentary in parentheses. The composer embraces the silliness of the narrative, with the vocal parts likely to reflect the playful and perhaps slightly chaotic nature of the frog's pursuit. This secular piece offers a light-hearted moment for choirs looking for engaging and entertaining repertoire that is sure to bring a smile to the audience.
