Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble

Drivin' down the street just the other day
I saw this real fine girl and stopped and said "you're goin' my way?"
She said, "thanks for the ride but before I get inside
There's just one thing that I wanna say"

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble

I drove to her house and dropped her by the gate
I thought, I'm doin' all right, so I asked for a date
She said "meet me at nine and you'd better be on time
'Cause I'll offer you to death if you show up late"

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble

(Na-na) what in the world is wrong with this chick, now?
Somebody tell me, what makes her tick, now? (na-na)
Some chicks do you wrong but this one wrongs you doubly (na-na)
I never saw a girl who was so hubbly-bubbly (na-na)

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
