My NEW website https://riverofsong.uk/ is up and running and ready to go. It is linked to my ‘Singing games for children’ site which though fine is a little creaky after 16 yrs - a little bit like me! The new site is user friendly, inviting and interactive. All my new videos can be found here. Do visit and let me know what you think of it.
For music, chords and more nostalgic songs visit: https://riverofsong.uk/lavender-lane/
A traditional resource for children, teachers, child care providers, librarians, parents and grandparents. Visit: https://riverofsong.uk/ or http://www.singinggamesforchildren.com to find many more songs including those from other countries.

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

I know 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.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know 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 a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

I know an old lady who swallowed a cat,
Just fancy that! She swallowed a cat.
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird...

I know an old lady who swallowed a dog,
What a hog to swallow a dog!
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat...

I know an old lady who swallowed a goat,
She opened her throat and swallowed a goat.
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,

I know an old lady who swallowed a cow,
I don't know how but she swallowed a cow.
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat,

I know an old lady who swallowed a horse
She's dead, of course!
