I know an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly

That wriggled and jiggled and ticked inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die
I know an old lady who swallowed a bird
Now how absurd to swallow a bird
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and ticked inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die
I know an old lady who swallowed a cat
Now fancy 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 ticked inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die
I know an old lady who swallowed a dog
What a hog to swallow a dog
She swallowed a 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 ticked inside her

But I don't know why she swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die
I know an old lady who swallowed a goat
She 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 bird to catch the spider
That wriggled, and jiggled and ticked 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 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

That wriggled and jiggled and ticked inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly

She's dead, of course
