THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN

THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN ALL SKIN AND BONES, OHH, OHH, OHH,
SHE LIVED DOWN BY THE OLD GRAVE YARD, OHH, OHH, OHH, OHH
ONE NIGHT SHE THOUGHT SHE'D TAKE A WALK, OHH, OHH, OHH.
SHE WALKED DOWN BY THE OLD GRAVE YARD, OHH, OHH, OHH, OHH.
SHE SAW THE BONES ALL LAYING AROUND, OHH, OHH, OHH, OHH.
SHE WENT TO THE CLOSET TO GET A BROOM, OHH, OHH, OHH, OHH.
SHE OPENED THE DOOR AND BOO!
