Natalie Merchant - Adventures of Isabel lyrics

Isabel met an enormous bear Isabel, Isabel, she didn't care Bear was hungry,bear was ravenous Bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous 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 straightened her hair up Then Isabel ate the bear up Once in a night black as pitch Isabel met a wicked old witch Witch's face was cross and wrinkled Witch's gums with teeth were sprinkled Ho, ho, Isabel! old witch crowed I'll turn you into an ugly toad Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry Isabel didn't scream or scurry Showed no rage,showed no rancor Turned the witch into milk and drank her Oh yeah, Isabel!!! Isabel met a hideous giant Isabel so self reliant Giant was hairy,giant horrid One eye in the middle of his forehead Morning, Isabel,giant said I'll grind your bones and make my bread Isabel, Isabel, she didn't worry Isabel didn't scream or scurry Nibbled on his zwieback that she fed off When it was gone, she cut the giant's head off Isabel!!! Isabel met a troublesome doctor Punched and poked till he really shocked her Doctor's talk was of coughs and chills Doctor's satchel bulged with pills Doctor said wow Isabel Swallow this, it will make you well Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry Isabel didn't scream or scurry Took those pills from the pill concocter Then Isabel cured the doctor, yeah, oh yeah
