I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly

Lyrics

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly I don't know why she swallowed the 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 But I don't know why she swallowed the fly Perhaps she'll die I know an old lady who swallowed a bird How absurd to swallow 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 But I don't know why she swallowed the fly Perhaps she'll die I know an old lady who swallowed a cat Imagine that she actually 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 But I don't know why she swallowed that fly Perhaps she'll die I know an old lady who swallowed a dog She was a hog that she swallowed a dog! She swallowed that dog to catch that cat She swallowed that cat to catch that bird She swallowed that bird to catch that spider That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her She swallowed the spider to catch the fly But I don't know why she swallowed a fly Perhaps she'll die I know an old lady who swallowed a goat Opened her throat and down went 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 But I don't know why she swallowed a fly Perhaps she'll die I know an old lady who swallowed a cow I don't know how she swallowed the cow She swallowed that cow to catch that goat She swallowed that goat to catch that dog She swallowed that dog to catch that cat She swallowed that cat to catch that bird She swallowed that bird to catch that spider That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her She swallowed the spider to catch the fly But I don't know why she swallowed a fly Perhaps she'll die I know an old lady who swallowed a horse She's alive and well, of course!
