"Mother Hubbard" Lyrics

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
