There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don`t know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she`ll die
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider
that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don`t know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she`ll die
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird
How absurd to swallow a bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don`t know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she`ll die
There was an old lady who swallowed a cat
Imagine that she swallowed a cat
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don`t know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she`ll die
There was an old lady who swallowed a dog
My what a hog to swallow a dog
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don`t know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she`ll die
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow
I don`t know how she swallowed a cow
She swallowed the cow to catch the dog
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
that wiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don`t know why she swallowed the fly
I guess she`ll die
I know an old lady who swallowed a horse
She`s dead of course
