I Know an Old Lady who
Swallowed a Fly

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don't know why, she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why, she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a bird
How obsurd, she swallowed a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why, she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a cat
How about that, she swallowed a cat.
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a dog
What a hog, she swallowed a dog.
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird

That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a goat
She just opened her throat, and swallowed a goat.
She swallowed the goat 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 wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a cow
I wonder how, she swallowed a cow.
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat
She swallowed the goat 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 wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse
She died, of course.
