Five little monkeys

FIVE little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head;
Mother called the doctor
And the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed."

FOUR little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head;
Mother called the doctor
And the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed."

THREE little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head;
Mother called the doctor
And the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed."

TWO little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head;
Mother called the doctor
And the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed."

ONE little monkey jumping on the bed
He fell off and bumped his head;
Mother called the doctor
And the doctor said:
"No more jumping on the bed."


The animal fair

I went to the animal fair
The birds and beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his golden hair.
The monkey fell out of his bunk
And slid down the elephant's trunk
The elephant sneezed and fell on her knees,
And what became of the monkey, monkey monkey..?


The Animal Fair (Song)

We went to the animal fair
The birds and beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his golden hair.
The monkey fell out of his bunk
And slid down the elephant's trunk
The elephant sneezed AH CHOO!
and fell on her knees,
And what became of the monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey monkey..?

We went to the animal fair
The birds and beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his golden hair.
The monkey fell out of his bunk
And slid down the elephant's trunk
The elephant sneezed AH CHOO!
and fell on her knees,
And what became of the monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey..?
