Adventures Of Isabel Lyrics - Leave Your Sleep - Natalie Merchant

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
