3. There was 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. Perhaps she'll die!
4. There was an old lady who swallowed a cat, fancy 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. Perhaps she'll die!
5. There was an old lady who swallowed a dog, 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. Perhaps she'll die!
6. There was an old lady who swallowed a goat, just opened her throat to swallow a goat!
She swallowed the goat to catch te dog, she swallowed the dog to catch the cat ...
7. There was an old lady who swallowed a cow, I don't know how she swallowed the cow.
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat ...
8. There was an old lady who swallowed a horse, it was by force that she swallowed the horse:
she died of course!
