Burl Ives - I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly lyrics

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 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 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 wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her She swallowed the spider to catch the fly I don't know why she swallowed the fly I guess she'll die I know an old lady who swallowed a dog My, 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 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 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 tickled inside her She swallowed the spider to catch the fly I don't know why she swallowed the fly I guess she'll die I know an old lady who swallowed a cow I wonder 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 wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her She swallowed the spider to catch the fly 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
