Mother Hubbard

Old Mother Hubbard she lived in a cave

Feeding the dinosaurs, she worked like a slave

Poetry in motion with her cauldron and spoon

She was stirring the possum by the light of the moon

Out in the open the stories they told

Her arm of iron made the blood run cold

Dinosaurs welcome - she hung out the sign

They were vicious and hungry but she kept them in line

By the back of her hand and the lash of her tongue

Every dinosaur knew - she was number one

But it's the devil she knows, it keeps her in clothes

She longed to go dancing in her ribbons and bows

Yeah everybody loves her but Mother Hubbard won't let

go

Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus Rexed

Overpopulated and way oversexed

Breeding like rabbits - so many in need

She was up to her arms in open mouths to feed

They never listened to the wisdom she preached

Nobody thanked her for the millions she reached

Now she's snowed under but Mother Hubbard won't let go

Everybody loves her and Mother Hubbard won't let go

It came to nothing as the snow went down

The beasts were dyin' on the frozen ground

Blood, sweat, and tears in vain

Days of sunshine, they're never comin' back again

She's rollin' home like a train

Early in the morning and alone late at night

Old Mother Hubbard won't give up the fight

The ice age is comin' - but she's on the move

There's another million reasons to prove

She's got the power, she's still got the taste

For draggin' every sucker through the prehistoric waste

Everybody loves her but Mother Hubbard won't let go

Yeah, she's snowed under but Mother Hubbard won't let

go

Everybody loves her but Mother Hubbard won't let go

Oh no, she can't let go

She won't let go

She can't let go

She can't let go

She won't let go
