Flipper The old Lady who Swallowed a fly Lyrics:

I KNOW AN OLD LADY
written by Rose Bonne and Alan Mills©1952
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. 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 tickled inside
her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed that 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 wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside
her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed that fly
I guess she'll die
I know an old lady who swallowed a goat
Opened her throat and down went 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 wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside
her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed that fly
I guess she'll die
I know an old lady who swallowed a cow
I don't know how she swallowed the 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 wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside
her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed that fly
I guess she'll die
I know an old lady who swallowed a horse
She's alive and well of course!
