Old mother hubbard went to the cupboard
To fetch 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
But when she came back he stood on his head
She went to the market to buy him some fish
But when she got back he was licking the dish
She went to the farm shop to buy him some fruit
But when she got back he was playing the flute
She went to the tailor's to buy him a coat
But when she came back he was riding a goat
She went to the hatter's to buy him a hat
But when she came back he was feeding the cat
She went to the barber's to buy him a wig
But when she came back he was dancing a jig
She went to the cobbler's to buy him some shoes
But when she came back he was reading the news
Then she went to the seamstress to buy him some linen
But when she came back the dog was a-spinning
The dame made a curtsy the dog made a bow
The dame said your servant the dog said bow wow
