Every day we walk home from the school bus and I ask DD about her day. Usually it takes her until bedtime to tell me about half of it. She tells me little tidbits and I need to be patient. Today on the walk home she told me she sang a song. I asked her what song? And she sang it to me. It was an old fave of mine from when I had a home daycare. Here it is below.
Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator you can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and SNAP!
Four little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator you can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and SNAP!
Three little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator you can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and SNAP!
Two little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator you can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and SNAP!
One little monkeys swinging in the tree
teasing Mr. Alligator you can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be
and SNAP!
“ha ha you missed me!”
There are a few variations of this song. When signing you hold up fingers and lose a finger for each “SNAP” and wave your finger when teasing the alligator.
