5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

 

The Itsy Bitsy Monkey

(Tune: The Itsy Bitsy Spider)

The itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the coconut tree.

 Down came a coconut and bumped him on the knee.

 Out came lion shaking his mighty mane,

 And the itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the tree again.

 

5 Little Monkeys

5 little monkeys high up in the tree.

Teasing Mr. Alligator,

"You can't catch me!”

Along comes Mr. Alligator quiet as can be…SNAP! that monkey right out of that tree!

Continue song counting down till…

0 little monkeys…Along comes Mr. Alligator fat as can be!

Why is he so fat?

 

Underneath The Monkey Tree 

(Tune: "The Muffin Man")

Come and play a while with me,

Underneath the monkey tree.

Monkey See and Monkey Do,

Just like monkeys in the zoo.

 

Swing your tail, one, two, three,

Underneath the monkey tree.

Monkey See and Monkey Do,

Just like monkeys in the zoo.

 

Jump around and smile like me,

Underneath the monkey tree.

Monkey See and Monkey Do,

Just like monkeys in the zoo.
