Lyrics

Monkeys In A Tree

Five little monkeys sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
"can't catch me, can't catch me!"
Along comes Mister Alligator quiet as can be and

SNAP!

Four little monkeys sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
"can't catch me, can't catch me!"
Along comes Mister Alligator quiet as can be and
SNAP!

Three little monkeys sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
"can't catch me, can't catch me!"
Along comes Mister Alligator quiet as can be and
SNAP!

Two little monkeys sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
"can't catch me, can't catch me!"
Along comes Mister Alligator quiet as can be and
SNAP!

One little monkey sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
"can't catch me, can't catch me!"
Along comes Mister Alligator quiet as can be and
SNAP! Missed me!
