I Know an Old Lady (an old song)...*Hollylovebug*

This is a song that my Mom used to sing to me when I was a little kid. I think it is so funny! (I don't know who originally made it up though)


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 wiggled and wiggled 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 obsurd to swallow a bird!
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
that wiggled and wiggled 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 wiggled and wiggled 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 dog,
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 wiggled and wiggled 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 goat,
just opened her throat and in walked 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 wiggled and wiggled 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 cow,
I don't know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to catch 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 wiggled and wiggled 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 horse,
She's dead of course!
