1. I know an old lady who swallowed a fly
I don’t know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she’ll die!

That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside her

(Bird tweets) SPOKEN: Must have been a sweet tweet!

And I don’t know why she swallowed the fly. Perhaps she’ll die!
4. I know an old lady who swallowed a cat,
Imagine that, she swallowed a cat!
SPOKEN: You know it was a great big Persian cat with great big fuzzy
fur and great big fuzzy tail and she had to squish it up so she could
swallow it. (Squishing sounds) Then she squished the tail, (more squishing
sounds) then she squished both parts together. Then she swallowed it!
GULP! (Cat hacking up a hairball sounds)
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird

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
Perhaps she’ll die!

came galloping up. Gulp.
How did it taste?
