There Was An Old Lady

There was an old lady who swallowed Dubai
I don’t know why she swallowed Dubai
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed Peru.
A daft thing to do, she swallowed Peru.
She swallowed Peru to catch Dubai,
I don’t know why she swallowed Dubai
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed Brazil.
She felt a bit ill, but swallowed Brazil.
She swallowed Brazil to catch Peru,
She swallowed Peru to catch Dubai,
I don’t know why she swallowed Dubai
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady, who swallowed Eurasia,
A simple erasure to swallow Eurasia.
She swallowed Eurasia to catch Brazil,
She swallowed Brazil to catch Peru,
She swallowed Peru to catch Dubai,
I don’t know why she swallowed Dubai
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady, who swallowed the ocean,
She caused a commotion and swallowed the ocean.
She swallowed the ocean to catch Eurasia,
She swallowed Eurasia to catch Brazil,
She swallowed Brazil to catch Peru,
She swallowed Peru to catch Dubai,
I don’t know why she swallowed Dubai
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady, who swallowed the earth,
Despite her girth, she swallowed the earth,
She swallowed the earth to catch the ocean
She swallowed the ocean to catch Eurasia,
She swallowed Eurasia to catch Brazil,
She swallowed Brazil to catch Peru,
She swallowed Peru to catch Dubai,
I don’t know why she swallowed Dubai
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady, who swallowed the sun,
She flicked out her tongue and swallowed the sun.
She swallowed the sun to catch the earth,
She swallowed the earth to catch the ocean
She swallowed the ocean to catch Eurasia,
She swallowed Eurasia to catch Brazil,
She swallowed Brazil to catch Peru,
She swallowed Peru to catch Dubai,
I don’t know why she swallowed Dubai
Perhaps she’ll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed the skies.
I’m sorry.
I’m telling lies.
