Adventures Of Isabel Lyrics by Ogden Nash

0

Isabel met an enormous bear
Isabel, Isabel, 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, didn't worry
Isabel didn't scream or scurry
She washed her hands and she straightened her hair up
Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up
Once in a night as 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 and she showed no rancor
But she turned the witch into milk and drank her
Isabel met a hideous giant
Isabel continued self reliant
The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid
He had one eye in the middle of his forhead
Good morning, Isabel, the giant said
I'll grind your bones to make my bread
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry
Isabel didn't scream or scurry
She nibled the zwieback that she always fed off
And when it was gone, she cut the giant's head off
Isabel met a troublesome doctor
He punched and he poked till he really shocked her
The doctor's talk was of coughs and chills
And the doctor's satchel bulged with pills
The doctor said unto 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
And Isabel calmly cured the doctor
