Old Mother Hubbard
Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog a bone
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the poor little dog had none
The little dog sat
With his head on the mat
So hungry, he wanted to cry
But he wagged his tail and he barked "Woo-hoo!"
Looked Hubbard straight in the eye
"Doggone!", said the little dog
"That ain't the way to do
If you were hungry and wanted a bone
I'd find one somewhere for you"
So Old Mother Hubbard
Closed up the cupboard
Went out into the street
The little dog moaned
"If you can't get a bone
Hubbard, bring me some meat!"
[Scatting]
Mother Hubbard, bring me some meat!
Pork chops, chicken, fish bones
Anything you see
Somewhere, somewhere in this wide, wide world
There must be a bone for me
"Doggone!", said the little dog
"That ain't the way to do
If you were hungry and wanted a bone
I'd find one somewhere for you"
Find me a bone, any bone, any kind of bone
You find anywhere, any place
Just as long as it is a bone and it has a piece of meat
Mother Hubbard, bring me some meat!
Mother Huh-za, bring me that muh-za!
