There was an old woman who swallowed a cow,
I don't know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to catch the dog,
What a hog! to swallow a dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
Imagine that! to swallow a cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the 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,
Perhaps she'll die.
