The Lyrics You Need

Please copy and paste these into your keynote now. At some point the lyrics will need to be split up onto the same slides that our original artwork and animations are waiting to be recorded.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly

I don't know why she swallowed a fly 

Perhaps she'll die

There was 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 a fly 

Perhaps she'll die

There was an old lady who swallowed a bird; 

How absurd to swallow a bird!

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider

That jiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her…

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die

There was an old lady who swallowed a cat; CLICK

Imagine that! She swallowed a cat!

She swallowed the cat to catch the bird,

She swallowed the bird to catch the spider

That jiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her…

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!

There was an old lady who swallowed a dog;

What a hog! She swallowed 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 jiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her…

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!

There was an old lady who swallowed a goat; 

She 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 jiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her…

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!

There was an old lady who swallowed a cow; 

I don't know 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 jiggled and wiggled and tickled inside her…

She swallowed the spider to catch the fly;

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse

She’s dead of course…
