I Know an Old Lady (Who Swallowed a Fly) |
I know an old lady who swallowed a fly, |
I don’t know why he swallowed a fly. |
I guess she’ll die. |
I know an old lady who swallowed a spider |
That wriggled and wriggled and tickled inside her. |
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, |
But I don’t know why he swallowed the fly. |
I guess she’ll die. |
I know an old lady who swallowed a bird. |
Now, how absurd to swallow a bird. |
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider |
That wriggled and wriggled and tickled inside her. |
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, |
But I don’t know why he swallowed the fly. |
I guess she’ll die. |
I know an old lady who swallowed a cat! |
Now, fancy that--to swallow a cat! |
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird, |
Swallowed the bird to catch the spider |
That wriggled and wriggled and tickled inside her. |
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, |
But I don’t know why he swallowed the fly. |
I guess she’ll die. |
I know an old lady who swallowed a dog! |
My, what a hog to swallow a dog! |
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat, |
Swallowed the cat to catch the bird, |
Swallowed the bird to catch the spider |
That wriggled and wriggled and tickled inside her. |
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, |
But I don’t know why he swallowed the fly. |
I guess she’ll die. |
I know an old lady who swallowed a goat. |
She just opened her throat and in walked the goat! |
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog, |
Swallowed the dog to catch the cat, |
Swallowed the cat to catch the bird, |
Swallowed the bird to catch the spider |
That wriggled and wriggled and tickled inside her. |
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, |
But I don’t know why he swallowed the fly. |
I guess she’ll die. |
I know an old lady who swallowed a cow. |
I don’t know how, but she swallowed a cow! |
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat, |
Swallowed the goat to catch the dog, |
Swallowed the dog to catch the cat, |
Swallowed the cat to catch the bird, |
Swallowed the bird to catch the spider |
That wriggled and wriggled and tickled inside her. |
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, |
But I don’t know why he swallowed the fly. |
I guess she’ll die. |
I know an old lady who swallowed a horse. |
She died, of course. |
