Lyrics Old Mother Hubbard - Ella Fitzgerald

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To give the poor dog a bone
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the poor lil' dog had none

The little dog sat
With his head on the mat
So hungry, he wanted to cry
But he wag his tail and he barked "Yoo-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!"

Hubbard, Hubbard, bring me some meat!

Fore 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 o' bone
You find anywhere, any place
Just as long as it is a bone and it has a piece o' meat
Mother Hubbard, bring me some meat!
Mother Hubba', bring me that muh-za!
