There Was An Old Lady

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly
I guess she'll die

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled insider her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why she swallowed a 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 jiggled and tickled insider her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly
I guess she'll die

Goat . . . She opened her throat and in walked a goat
Cow . . . I don't know how she swallowed that cow
There was an old lady, she swallowed a horse
She DIED of course!
