Five
little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell down and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Four little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell down and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

She fell down and bumped her head,
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,

Tommy Thumb up,
Tommy Thumb down,
Tommy Thumb dancing all around town.

Dance them on your knees,
Dance them on your head,
Dance them on your shoulders,
Then tuck them into bed.
