Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard , To get her poor dog a bone . When she got there, The cupboard was bare, And so the poor dog Had none. 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 store To buy him some fruit , But when she came back, He was playing the flute. She went to the tailor's To buy him a coat But she came back, He was riding a goat .
