Was that he she or I that swallowed the fly.
I can remember the rythum but not the gender.
I (he or she) swallowed a fly, I don't know why I swallower the fly
I swallowed a spider to eat the fly, but I don't know why I swallowed the fly.
But I keep thinking there is something that goes more like swallowed the
spider to eat the fly down in side her, but I don't know why she swallowed the
fly.
fly,spider, rat, cat, dog, horse I guess that's were it gets silly cow might
be better right I mean swallowing a cow makes more sence than swallowing a
horse.

she swallowed a whale to eat the elephant that ate the horse that ate the dog
that ate the cat that ate the rat that ate the spider that ate the fly (down
in side her?) but I don't know why she swallowed the fly.

Ok so it's been 30 or 40 years since I heard it sue me.

PRETTY GOOD! I had made it 59 years without ever hearing that, but a quick
search found it (quickly).
