Teasing Mister Alligator

Five little monkeys
Sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
“You can’t catch me.”
Along comes Mister Alligator,
Quiet as can be
And SNAPS that monkey
Right out of that tree!

Four little monkeys
Sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
“You can’t catch me.”
Along comes Mister Alligator,
Quiet as can be
And SNAPS that monkey
Right out of that tree!

Three little monkeys
Sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
“You can’t catch me.”
Along comes Mister Alligator,
Quiet as can be
And SNAPS that monkey
Right out of that tree!

Two little monkeys
Sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
“You can’t catch me.”
Along comes Mister Alligator,
Quiet as can be
And SNAPS that monkey
Right out of that tree!

One little monkey
Sitting in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator:
“You can’t catch me.”
Along comes Mister Alligator,
Quiet as can be
And SNAPS that monkey
Right out of that tree!

Sitting in a tree!
