Adventures Of Isabel
(*Ogden Nash) [** Disc 2:]
Isabel met an enormous bear* Isabel, Isabel, she didn't care The bear was hungry, the bear was ravenous The bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you How do, Isabel, now I'll eat you Isabel, Isabel, she didn't worry Isabel didn't scream or scurry Washed her hands and she straightened her hair up Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up
Once in a night black as pitch Isabel met a wicked old witch The witch's face was cross and wrinkled The witch's gums with teeth were sprinkled Ho, ho, Isabel! the old witch crowed I'll turn you into an ugly toad Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry Isabel didn't scream or scurry She showed no rage, she showed no rancor She turned the witch into milk and drank her Oh yeah, Isabel
Isabel met a hideous giant Isabel so self reliant The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid One eye in the middle of his forhead G'Morning, Isabel, the giant said I'll grind your bones to make my bread Isabel, Isabel, she didn't worry Isabel didn't scream or scurry She nibled the zwieback that she fed off When it was gone, she cut the giant's head off Isabel
Isabel met a troublesome doctor He punched and poked till he really shocked her The doctor's talk was of coughs and chills The doctor's satchel bulged with pills The doctor said wow Isabel Swallow this, it will make you well Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry Isabel didn't scream or scurry She took those pills from the pill concocter Then Isabel cured the doctor, yeah, oh yeah
