THERE WAS AN OLD LADY

They've all got to join in, and if it goes wrong it's even funnier!

Each verse you come back to the number here and sing through to the end.

6 She swallowed the cow to catch the dog
5 She swallowed the dog to catch the cat
4 She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
3 She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
that wriggled and wiggled and jiggled inside her
2 She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
1 I don't know why she swallowed a fly
Perhaps she'll die!

OFF WE GO...

How about that, she swallowed a cat

What a hog, to swallow a dog
