Granny’s Attic

There was an old lady
Who swallowed a fly
I don’t know why
She swallowed the fly
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a spider
It wiggled and jiggled
It did things inside her
I went to grandma’s house
Snuck up into her attic
In there i found some things
A bag with sticks and stones in it
She has a puppet on a string
She’ll twist and scream incantations
She makes it do those things
Fill a bag with rattling bones in it
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a fly
I don’t know why
She swallowed the fly
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a spider
It wiggled and jiggled
It did things inside her
She has a puppet on a string
She’ll twist and scream incantations
She makes it do those things
Fill a bag with rattling bones in it
It tears and the stuffing falls out
Straw hair and butterfly wings
One time it leared at me
Claw hands and shredded coattails
(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a fly
I don’t know why
She swallowed the fly
There was an old lady
Sho swallowed a spider
It wiggled and jiggled
It did things inside her
It tears and the stuffing falls out
Straw hair and butterfly wings
One time it leared at me
Claw hands and shredded coattails
Put a finger to my lips
Spoke words in mystic language
Told me it’s naughty deeds
And then i fell unconscious
Felt it crawl up onto my chest
A black heavy weight
Hands reached down from the ceiling
Terrified my throat locked tight
I could hear noises in the attic
I ran up the stairs to see
Opened the door
The noises stopped
And their eyes opened
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a fly
I don’t know why
She swallowed the fly
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a spider
It wiggled and jiggled
It did things inside her
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a fly
I don’t know why
She swallowed the fly
There was an old lady
Who swallowed a spider
It wiggled and jiggled
It did things inside her
