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