There Was an Old Lady Song

This Song is meant for Cub Scouts.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
I guess she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider.
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
I guess 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 wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don't know why she swallowed the fly.
I guess she'll die.


There was an old lady who swallowed a cat.
Imagine that! She swallowed 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 wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
I don't know why she swallowed the fly.
I guess she'll die.



There was an old lady who swallowed a Dog.
What a hog! She swallowed a dog.

There was an old lady who swallowed a Goat.
She opened her throat And in walked a goat.

There was an old lady who swallowed a Cow.
I don't know how She swallowed that cow.

There was an old lady, she swallowed a horse.
She's DEAD of course!
