Talk:There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Game
At a summer camp in California in the 1990s, we used to play a game in which the goal was to sing and act out the verses as fast as possible, with increasing speed as the verses went on. Even better if you could sing each verse on a single breath. Not everyone would sing. But I don't remember the exact rules and I'm not sure if it merits inclusion. Original research? Also, for all I know it might be quite uncommon, and I can't recall playing it anywhere else. BookishAcolyte (talk) 04:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Additional Verse
I heard this one from a singer at an assembly when I was in elementary school during the Jurassic period (about 1957):
(just before the last)
- There was an old lady who swallowed a rhinoceros;
- How prepoceros! To swallow a rhinoceros!
- She swallowed the rhinoceros to catch the cow...
- etc.
