'FIVE LITTLE MONKEYS SWINGING IN THE TREE' lyric
Five little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and snapped ... that monkey out that tree
Four little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and snapped ... that monkey out that tree
Three little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and snapped ... that monkey out that tree
Two little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and snapped ... that monkey out that tree
One little monkey swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and snapped ... that monkey out that tree
No more monkeys swinging in the tree!
Trere is a great presentation of this rhyme from Cullen's Abc's.
