Old Mother Hubbard
Old Mother HubbardWent to the cupboard, To give her poor dog a bone;But when she got thereThe 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 got back The dog was laughing.She took a clean dish To get him some tripe;When she came back He was smoking a 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 hatter's To buy him a hat;When she came back He was feeding the 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 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 cobbler's To buy him some shoes;When she came back He was reading the news.She went to the sempster's To buy him some linen;When she came back The dog was a-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."
