Three little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell down and bumped his head
Mummy called the doctor, the doctor said
"We'll have no more monkeys jumping on the bed"

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell down and bumped his head
Mummy called the doctor, the doctor said
"We'll have no more monkeys jumping on the bed"

One little monkey jumping on the bed
He fell down and bumped his head
Mummy called the doctor, the doctor said
"We'll have no more monkeys jumping on the bed"
