Natalie Merchant - Adventures Of Isabel lyrics

rate me

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
