Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
   To get her poor dog a bone;
But when she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
   And so the poor dog had none.

She went to the baker’s
   To buy him some bread;
And when she came back,
   The poor dog was dead.

She went to the joiner’s
   To buy him a coffin;
And when she came back,
   The doggy was laughin’.

She went to the butcher’s
   To buy him some tripe;
And when she came back,
   He was smoking his pipe.

She went to the hatter’s
   To buy him a hat;
And when she came back,
   He was feeding the cat.

She went to the barber’s
   To buy him a wig;
And when she came back,
   He was dancing a jig.

She went to the tailor’s
   To buy him a coat;
And when she came back,
   He was riding a goat.

She went to the cobbler’s
   To buy him some shoes;
And when she came back,
   He was reading the news.
