00:00Now, old Mother Hubbard, she went to the cupboard to get her poor dog a bone.
00:14But when she got there, the cupboard was bare, so the poor little dog had none.
00:19But old Mother Hubbard, she wouldn't give up.
00:21She had to feed the pup.
00:23Oh, here is the story, the gush and the gory, of how the old girl fed up.
00:37Always rubbing, scrubbing, from morning until night.
00:41But just a song, when things go wrong, makes everything all right.
00:45In a washtub there's no romance, but still I like to sing.
00:49And it's all because I wash the boots of His Majesty the King.
00:59From royal socks and undies, I must squeeze the socks.
01:04I'm the ringer-outer of the royal duds.
01:08La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

04:07Though I'm a king, it don't mean a thing. My eyes are dim, my ears they buzz. I'm on the spot,
04:15my liver is shot. No, I ain't the man I used to was. All the ladies of the court looked upon me
04:25as a royal sport. I no longer can cavort. Guess I'm through. My breath is short.
04:34He's getting thin, he can't drink his gin. Teeth have fallen out, his hair's all fuzz.
04:41He's slipping fast, he just can't last. No, he ain't the man he used to was. No, he ain't the man he used to was.
05:11So

06:17Cheer up! Why do you look so sad and grumpy? Cheer up! Why do you sigh?
06:24Cheer up! You know the life is not so bumpy. Cheer up! Take it in high. Why do you sit around so humble,
06:37mumble, jumble, groan and grumble? Cheer up! A king should sing, for that will bring a smile.
06:46Be a regular guy. Why, you've made me a new man, see? Now I'd like to give you some reward.
06:59My whole empire, if you desire. Speak and you shall have it, upon my word.
07:16Cheer up! Why do you look so sad and grumpy? Cheer up! Why do you sigh?
07:40Cheer up! You know the life is not so bumpy. Cheer up! Take it in high. Why do you sit around so humble,
07:50mumble, jumble, groan and grumble? Cheer up! A king should sing, for that will bring a smile. Be a regular guy.
