There Came an Old Woman from France

There Came an Old Woman from France - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


There came an old woman from France
Who taught grown-up children to dance;
But they were so stiff,
She sent them home in a sniff,
This sprightly old woman from France.
