[Verse]
Isabel met an enormous bear
Isabel, Isabel, she 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
Washed her hands and straightened her hair up
Then Isabel ate the bear up

[Verse]
Once in a night black as pitch
Isabel met a wicked old witch
The witch's face was cross and wrinkled
The witch's gums with teeth a-sprinkled
"Ho, ho, Isabel!" the 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
But she turned the witch into milk and drank her

[Verse]
Isabel met a hideous giant
Isabel so self-reliant
The giant was hairy, the giant horrid
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
[Verse]
Isabel met a troublesome doctor
Punched and poked and really shocked her
The doctor’s talk was of coughs and chills
And the doctor’s satchel bulged with pills
The doctor said, "Oh Isabel
Swallow this, it will make you well"
Isabel, Isabel didn’t hurry
Isabel didn’t scream or scurry
Took those pills from the pill concocter
Then Isabel cured the doctor
