I know an old lady who swallowed a one. 
She said it was fun to swallow a one.
She’s just begun.

I know an old lady who swallowed a two— 
What a thing to do, to swallow a two!
She swallowed the two right after the one;
What number fun!

I know an old lady who swallowed a three;
By gosh, golly, gee, she swallowed a three!
She swallowed the three right after the two—
She swallowed the two right after the one.
What number fun!

I know an old lady who swallowed a four; 
Her throat got sore from sharp-cornered four.
She swallowed the four right after the three…

I know an old lady who swallowed a five;  
That jumped and jived and did a dive.
She swallowed the five right after the four…

I know an old lady who swallowed a six.   
I think she’s sick; she swallowed a six.
She swallowed the six right after the five…

I know an old lady who swallowed a seven.
It wasn’t an eight, nine, ten, or eleven.
She swallowed the seven right after the six…

I know an old lady who swallowed an eight. 
She cleaned her plate and ate all of eight.
She swallowed the eight right after the seven…

I know an old lady who swallowed a nine.  
I don’t think she’s fine—she swallowed a nine.
She swallowed the nine right after the eight… 

I know an old lady who swallowed a ten.   
She giggled and grinned and swallowed a ten.
And that’s the end.
