Granny's Attic

Lyrics & Music By:
Chad Hamlin & Dan Musgrove

​       there was an old lady
       who swallOWED a fly
       i don’T know why
       she swaLLOWED the fly
       there was an old lady
       who swalLOWED a spidER
       it wiggled and jiggled
       it did things inside her
 
              i went to grandma’s house
              snuck up into her attic
              in there i found some things
              a bag with sticks and stones in it
 
              she has a puppet on a string
              she’ll twist and scream incanTATIONS
              she makes it do those things
              fill a bag with rattLING bones in it
 
       there was an old lady
       who swallOWED a fly
       i don’T know why
       she swaLLOWED the fly
       there was an old lady
       who swalLOWED a spidER
       it wiggled and jiggled
       it did things inside her
              she has a puppet on a string
              she’ll twist and scream incanTATIONS
              she makes it do those things
              fill a bag with rattLING bones in it
 
              it tears and the stuffING falls out
              straw hair and butterfLY wings
              one time it leared at me
              claw hands and shredded coattAILS

       there was an old lady
       who swallOWED a fly
       i don’T know why
       she swaLLOWED the fly
       there was an old lady
       who swalLOWED a spidER
       it wiggled and jiggled
       it did things inside her
 
              it tears and the stuffING falls out
              straw hair and butterfLY wings
              one time it leared at me
              claw hands and shredded coattAILS
 
              put a finger to my lips
              spoke words in mystic lanGUAGE
              told me it’S nauGHTY deeds
              and then i fell unconSCIOUS
 
       felt it crawl up onto my chest
              a black heavy WEIGHT
       hands reached down from the ceilING
              terrifIED my throat locked tight
       i coulD hear noises in the attic
              i ran up the stairs to see
       opened the door
              the noises stopped
       and their eyes opened
 
       there was an old lady
       who swallOWED a fly
       i don’T know why
       she swaLLOWED the fly
       there was an old lady
       who swalLOWED a spidER
       it wiggled and jiggled
       it did things inside her
 
       there was an old lady
       who swallOWED a fly
       i don’T know why
       she swaLLOWED the fly
       there was an old lady
       who swalLOWED a spidER
       it wiggled and jiggled
       it did things inside her
