lyrics

oo, oo, oo, oo
oo, oo, oo, oo
oo, oo, oo, oo

There was an old woman all skin and bones, oo, oo, oo, oo

One night she thought she'd take a walk, oo, oo, oo, oo

The wind and rain blew on her face, oo, oo, oo, oo

She saw the bones all layin' around, oo, oo, oo, oo

She thought she'd sweep the old church house, oo, oo, oo, oo

She went to the closet to get her a broom, oo, oo, oo, oo

She opened the door but the lock wouldn't work, oo, oo, oo, oo

She tried it again, and BOO!
