Hunters & Collectors - Mother Hubbard lyrics

Old Mother Hubbard she lived in a cave Feeding the dinosaurs, she worked like a slave Poetry in motion with her cauldron and spoon She was stirring the possum by the light of the moon Out in the open the stories they told Her arm of iron made the blood run cold Dinosaurs welcome – she hung out the sign They were vicious and hungry but she kept them in line By the back of her hand and the lash of her tongue Every dinosaur knew – she was number one But it's the devil she knows, it keeps her in clothes She longed to go dancing in her ribbons and bows Yeah everybody loves her but Mother Hubbard won't let go Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus Rexed Overpopulated and way overs**ed Breeding like rabbits – so many in need She was up to her arms in open mouths to feed They never listened to the wisdom she preached Nobody thanked her for the millions she reached Now she's snowed under but Mother Hubbard won't let go Everybody loves her and Mother Hubbard won't let go It came to nothing as the snow went down The beasts were dyin' on the frozen ground Blood, sweat, and tears in vain Days of sunshine, they're never comin' back again She's rollin' home like a train Early in the morning and alone late at night Old Mother Hubbard won't give up the fight The ice age is comin' – but she's on the move There's another million reasons to prove She's got the power, she's still got the taste For draggin' every s**er through the prehistoric waste Everybody loves her but Mother Hubbard won't let go Yeah, she's snowed under but Mother Hubbard won't let go Everybody loves her but Mother Hubbard won't let go Oh no, she can't let go She won't let go She can't let go She can't let go She won't let go
