Lady With Alligator Purse, The

Song Lyrics & Words

Miss Lucy had a baby.
His name was Tiny Tim.
She put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water.
He ate up all the soap.
He tried to eat the bathtub,
But it wouldn't go down his throat.
Miss Lucy called the doctor.
Miss Lucy called the nurse.
Miss Lucy called the lady
With the alligator purse.
"Mumps," said the doctor.
"Measles," said the nurse.
"Hiccups," said the lady
With the alligator purse.
Out went the doctor.
Out went the nurse.
Out went the lady
With the alligator purse.

Miss Lucy had a baby
His name was tiny tim
she put him in the bathtub
to see if he could swim

He ate up all the water
he ate up all the soap
he tried to eat the bathtub
but it wouldn't go down his throat

Miss Lucy called the doctor
miss Lucy called the nurse
miss Lucy called the lady
with the alligator purse

In came the doctor
in came the nurse
in came the lady
with the alligator purse

measles said the doctor
mumps said the nurse
nonsense said the lady
with the alligator purse

Penicilen said the doctor
castor oil said the nurse
pizza said the lady
with the alligator purse

out came the doctor
out came the nurse
out came the lady
with the alligator purse

My husband thinks there are other lyrics for this tune that do not include lady with the alligator purse

I'm looking for a version that was on a car songs tape when I was little, it included several other verses and was set to a different tune. I think it was Aunt Lucy, rather than Miss. One of the verses was Jesse James, I think... If anyone knows it, or especially knows what the sone collection was called, please let me know on my blog at rosy-lotus.blogspot.com Thanks!
