What is the name of the kid's song about larger animals progressively eating the smaller ones?

We used to sing this in elementary school. I think a frog eats a fly, then a bird eats the frog, and so on. I think the chorus had umm hmm, umm hmm in it.

What is the name of the kid's song about larger animals progressively eating the smaller ones?
Is this it?:





I know an old lady


She swallowed a fly


But I don't know why


She swallow the fly





- I guess she'll die





I know an old lady


Who swallow a spider


It wiggled and jiggled


And tickled inside her





She swallowed a spider


To catch the fly


But I don't know why


She swallowed the fly





- I guess she'll die





I know and old lady


Who swallowed a bird


Isn't that ubsurd


To swallow a bird?





She swallowed the bird


To catch the spider


Who wiggled and jiggled


And tickled inside her

To catch the fly


But I don't know why


She swallowed a fly





- I guess she'll die





I know and old lady


Who swallowed a cat


Just imagine that


She swallowed a cat

Ooh, what a hog
