I Know An Old Lady

I Know An Old Lady - Jon Pertwee

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly

I don't know why she swallowed the fly

I guess 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

I guess 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

I guess she'll die

I know an old lady who swallowed a cat

Imagine that to swallow 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 the fly

I guess she'll die

Now 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

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 the fly

I guess she'll die

Now I know an old lady who swallowed a horse

She's dead of course
