Isabel met an enourmous 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.
She showed no rage and she showed no rancour,
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 forehead.
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 nibbled the zwieback that she always fed off,
And when it was gone, she cut the giant`s head off.
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.
Isable, Isabel, didn`t worry,
Isabel didn`t scream or scurry.
She took those pills from the pil concocter, And Isabel calmly cured the doctor.
