Old Mother Hubbard. 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 was dead! She went to the undertaker's To buy him a coffin; When she came back The dog was laughing. She took a clean dish to get him some tripe; When she came back He was smoking his pipe. She went to the alehouse To get him some beer; When she came back The dog sat in a chair. She went to the tavern For white wine and red; When she came back The dog stood on his head. She went to the fruiterer's To buy him some fruit; When she came back He was playing the 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 sempstress To buy him some linen; When she came back The dog was 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. This wonderful dog Was Dame Hubbard's delight, He could read, he could dance, He could sing, he could write; She gave him rich dainties Whenever he fed, And erected this monument When he was dead.[1] from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Mother_Hubbard
