On Monday Terry sang...

LA VIEJA (Spanish) Una vieja que yo conocía debajo la cama un perro tenía Cada vez que la vieja rezaba el perro ladraba y así le decía Estribillo Susurumbe, susurumbe Cucara macara títere fue Que me gustan, que me gustan Que me gustan los ojos de usted Una vieja que yo conocía debajo la cama un pato tenía Cada vez que la vieja rezaba el pato pateaba y así le decía (Estribillo) Una vieja que yo conocía debajo la cama dos pollitos tenía Cada vez que la vieja rezaba los pollos piaban y así le decía (Estribillo) Una vieja que yo conocía debajo la cama un hombre tenía Cada vez que la vieja rezaba el hombre cantaba y así le decía (Estribillo)

THE OLD WOMAN An old woman I knew Had a dog under her bed Every time the old woman prayed The dog barked and said to her: Chorus Susurumbe, susurumbe Cucara macara, puppet it was/the puppet did it I like, I like I like your eyes An old woman I knew Had a duck under her bed Every time the old woman prayed The duck waddled and said to her: (Chorus) An old woman I knew Had two chicks under her bed Every time the old woman prayed The chicks chirped and said to her: (Chorus) An old woman I knew Had a man under her bed Every time the old woman prayed The man sang and said to her: (Chorus)

There are many versions of this song with different beings under the old woman's bed.
The chorus may also have different versions. The first two lines (and sometimes the whole chorus) have no real meaning, they're part or a slightly different version of a county-out rhyme: Tin marín de dos pingüé.

I found this rendition with a set of lyrics of the same type as Terry's.
