Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog a bone
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
And so the poor dog had none.
She went to the butcher
To get him some meat
But the butcher said, "No, ma'am
I don't have a bone to spare."
She went to the baker
To buy her dog a loaf of bread
But the baker said, "No, ma'am
Not without any money"
She went to the farmer's wife
And cried, "Oh give me a bone
For my poor starving dog."
But the farmer's wife said, "Be gone
I haven't got any bones."
Then old Mother Hubbard
Had to go back home
Her poor dog had no bone
But, when she got home
Her dog was licking his chops
So old Mother Hubbard
Went out to the shops.
She went to the greengrocer
And she brought back a carrot
For her dog to chew on
He liked it so much
That he wagged his tail
and they all lived happily ever after.
