natalie merchant - old mother hubbard lyrics
went to the cupboard,
to give the poor dog a bone;
when she came there,
the cupboard was bare,
and so the poor dog had none.
she went to the baker’s
to buy him some bread;
when she came back
the dog was dead!
she went to the undertaker’s
to buy him a coffin;
when she came back
the dog was laughing.
she took a clean dish
to get him some tripe;
when she came back
he was smoking his pipe.
she went to the alehouse
to get him some beer;
when she came back
the dog sat in a chair.
she went to the tavern
for white wine and red;
when she came back
the dog stood on his head.
she went to the fruiterer’s
to buy him some fruit;
when she came back
he was playing the flute.
she went to the tailor’s
to buy him a coat;
when she came back
he was riding a goat.
she went to the hatter’s
to buy him a hat;
when she came back
he was feeding her cat.
she went to the barber’s
to buy him a wig
when she came back
he was dancing a jig.
she went to the cobbler’s
to buy him some shoes;
when she came back
he was reading the news.
she went to the sempstress
to buy him some linen;
when she came back
the dog was spinning.
she went to the hosier’s
to buy him some hose;
when she came back
he was dressed in his clothes.
the dame made a curtsy,
the dog made a bow;
the dame said, your servant;
the dog said, bow-wow.
this wonderful dog
was dame hubbard’s delight,
he could read, he could dance,
he could sing, he could write;
she gave him rich dainties
whenever he fed,
and erected this monument
when he was dead.
