Hard Times for Mother Goose
V1:
My name is Jack Horner
and I stand on the corner
beggin plums from the pockets
of those who pass by.
And some say I'm lazy
and some say I'm crazy.
Some say I could make it
if I only would try.
Chorus:
But the times are hard
for Mother Goose
Yeah the times are hard
for Mother Goose
Her son is in a 12-step
and her daughter's drinking juice
Yeah the times are hard
for Mother Goose
V2:
Old Mother Hubbard
just can't find a lover.
The children are grown
now there's nothing to do.
She'll go to her lawyer
he'll have papers for her.
Her husband won't mind
cause he'll remarry too.
V3:
A dillar a dollar
the ten o clock scholar
is having some trouble
in finding his niche
He don't want a job
with a guaranteed future
cause he's found that he wants
to be more than just rich.
V4:
Rapunzel rapunzel
has let down her hair.
Her parents are worried
but she doesn't care
They want her to stay
in their ivory tower
But she's hip to a new world
they don't know is there.
