Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. (five fingers bouncing on opposite hand)
One fell down and hurt his head. (one finger makes falling action)
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, (pretend to talk on telephone)
"No more little monkeys jumping on that bed!" (shake finger, as if to scold)

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed. (four fingers bouncing on opposite hand)
One fell down and hurt his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more little monkeys jumping on that bed!"

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed. (three fingers bouncing on opposite hand)
One fell down and hurt his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more little monkeys jumping on that bed!"

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed. (two fingers bouncing on opposite hand)
One fell down and hurt his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more little monkeys jumping on that bed!"

One little monkeys jumping on the bed. (one fingers bouncing)
One fell down and hurt his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,

No one fell down and hurt his head. (shake head)
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, (pantomine telephone)
