The theme for Davis (Calif) Pickers and Singers was instruments, including voice. The host was my wonderfully crazy French friend, Marc Vayssières.

This is the song her sang, such as it is.

I KNOW AN OLD LADY

I know an old lady who swallowed a mosquito

I know an old lady who swallowed a mosquito.
Incognito she swallowed a mosquito,
And kept playing her kazoo.

I know an old lady who swallowed a bat,
That rang bells in her belfry and up into her hat.
She swallowed the bat to catch the mosquito
Incognito she swallowed a mosquito,
Now she plays a banjo.

I know an old lady who swallowed a jaguar
How bizarre to swallow a jaguar.
She swallowed the Jaguar to catch the bat,
That rang bells in her belfry and up into her hat.
She swallowed the bat to catch the mosquito.
Incognito she swallowed a mosquito,
Oh, and she plays the guitar.

I know an old lady who swallowed a giraffe.
Now that was a gaffe to swallow a giraffe.
She swallowed the giraffe to catch the jaguar,
She swallowed the Jaguar to catch the bat,
That rang bells in her belfry and up into her hat.
She swallowed the bat to catch the mosquito.
Incognito she swallowed that mosquito,
And she plays her cello.

I know an old lady who swallowed a hippopotamus.
Hocus pocus, she swallowed a hippopotamus.
She swallowed the hippopotamus to catch the giraffe,
She swallowed the giraffe to catch the jaguar,
She swallowed the Jaguar to catch the bat,
That rang bells in her belfry and up into her hat.
She swallowed the bat to catch the mosquito.
Incognito she swallowed that mosquito,
And she plays her grand piano.

I know an old lady who swallowed an elephant
How blatant to swallow an elephant.
Now all she plays is the sousaphone.
