Five little monkeys

Swinging from a tree;

Teasing Uncle Crocodile,

Merry as can be.

Swinging high, swinging low,

Swinging left and right:

" Dear Uncle Crocodile,

Come and take a bite! "

Five little monkeys

Swinging in the air;

Heads up, tails up,

Little do they care.

Swinging up, swinging down,

Swinging far and near:

" Poor Uncle Crocodile,

Aren't you hungry, dear? "

Four little monkeys

Sitting in a tree;

Heads down, tails down,

Dreary as can be.

Weeping loud, weeping low,

Crying to each other:

" Wicked Uncle Crocodile

To gobble up our brother! "
