There were five little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
There were four little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
There were three little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
There were two little monkeys jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
(Think those monkeys learned their lesson yet? Well there was still...)
One little monkey jumping on the bed,
One fell off and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
(Now here comes the part where we do the advanced mathematics.
One monkey and one fell off, how many were left?)
There were zero monkeys jumping on the bed,
So nobody fell or jumped their head,
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed?
That's exactly what I said!
Put those silly little monkeys all to bed!"
