There was an old lady who swallowed a flyI don't know why she swallowed the flyPerhaps she'll dieBut it's only a flyI think I'll cryShe gulped it out of the skyOh, my!
There was an old lady who swallowed a spiderThat wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.She swallowed the spider to catch the flyI don't know whyShe swallowed the flyPerhaps she'll die.Gone to the by and bySigh
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird.How absurd! She swallowed a bird!She swallowed the bird to catch the spider.She swallowed the spider to catch the flyI don't know whyShe swallowed the flyPerhaps she'll die.She'll leave us high and dry.
There was an old lady who swallowed a cat.Imagine that! She swallowed a cat.She swallowed the cat to catch the bird.She swallowed the bird to catch the spider.She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.I don't know whyShe swallowed the flyPerhaps she'll die.I hope it's a lie.
There was an old lady who swallowed a dog.She went whole hog to swallow 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.She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.I don’t know whyShe swallowed the flyPerhaps she'll die.There’s a tear in my eye.
There was an old lady who swallowed a cow.I don’t know how she swallowed the cow.She swallowed the cow 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.She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.I don't know whyShe swallowed the flyPerhaps she’ll die.I’d rather have ham on rye.And she had a frog on the sly.She did it in one try.
There was an old lady who swallowed a horse.She died, of course.It was the last course.I’m filled with remorse.What’s left to say...Even the artist is crying.We’ll miss her dearly.It is such a loss.She had no time to floss.She missed out on the sauce.
Moral: Never swallow a horse.
