There Was an Old Lady

There Was an Old Lady - Songs For Children

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 horse

She's died and well of course
