I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly

I found pictures for this song and colored and laminated them. The lady I made is half the size of a piece of posterboard with a big circle cut out of her stomach so the animals can be fed to the lady.

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I don't know why she swallowed the fly.
Perhaps she'll cry. Boo-hoo. (I sing this instead of "perhaps she'll die" because it is more kid friendly. You can sing Oh me, Oh my.)

I know an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll cry. Boo-hoo.

I know an old lady who swallowed a bird.
How absurd to swallow a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly,
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly,
Perhaps she'll cry. Boo-hoo.

Keep singing in this manner and add these animals in this order.
Cat-Imagine that to swallow a cat.
Dog-What a hog to swallow a dog.
Goat-Just opened her throat and in walked the goat.
Cow-I don't know how she swallowed the cow.

To end the song you sing:
I know an old lady who swallowed a horse.
She cried of course!
