There Was A Real Lady

“There Was a Real Lady”

(to the tune of “There Was An Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly”)

There was a REAL woman who swallowed a NAT (natural #)

I don’t know why she swallowed the NAT

Perhaps she’ll fall flat!

There was a REAL woman who swallowed a WHOLE

That wiggled and jiggled and tickled her soul.

She swallowed the WHOLE to catch the NAT

I don’t know why she swallowed the NAT

Perhaps she’ll fall flat!

There was a REAL woman who swallowed an INTEGER

What a stir to swallow an INTEGER.

She swallowed the INTEGER to catch the WHOLE

That wiggled and jiggled and tickled her soul.

She swallowed the WHOLE to catch the NAT

I don’t know why she swallowed the NAT

Perhaps she’ll fall flat!

There was a REAL woman who swallowed a RAT (rational #)

Imagine that!  To swallow a RAT!

She swallowed the RAT to catch the INTEGER

What a stir to swallow an INTEGER.

She swallowed the INTEGER to catch the WHOLE

That wiggled and jiggled and tickled her soul.

She swallowed the WHOLE to catch the NAT

I don’t know why she swallowed the NAT

Perhaps she’ll fall flat!

There was a REAL woman who swallowed an IRR (irrational #)

Oh my dear!  It wasn’t clear!

She feel on her rear!
