THERE WAS AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A FLY.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I dunno why she swallowed that fly - perhaps she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider,
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly - perhaps she'll die.

There was 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 wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly - perhaps she'll die

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
that wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly - perhaps she'll die

There was 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 wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly - perhaps she'll die

There was an old lady who swallowed a goat.
Just opened her throat and swallowed a 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 wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly - perhaps she'll die

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse
She's dead, of course!
