The Monkeys and the Crocodile
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."
