Old Mother Hubbard went to her
cupboard To get her poor dog
a bone
But when she got there,
the cupboard was bare And so
the poor dog had none
Why was it empty?
It wasn't a bone she was
trying to find It was a
political move of a different kind
The king and the cardinal playing
a game While the church and
the state took the blame
There's a secret in the cupboard
No bones to find
There's a secret in the cupboard
Out of her mind
Henry wanted his divorce She had
no power
History rewritten in the final hour
She went to the baker's to
buy him some bread But when
she came back,
the poor dog was dead She
went to the undertaker's to buy
him a coffin But when she
came back,
the dog was laughing
No farm, no dog,
no simple bone Just a queen
left entirely alone Old Mother Hubbard
