Lyrics

Old Mother Hubbard
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 looked dead!

She went to the joiner's
To buy him a coffin;
When she came back
The dog was laughing.

She went to the fruiterer's
To buy him some fruit;
When she came back
He was playing a 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 seamstress
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."
