Lyrics for 'Three Little Monkeys'

Three little monkeys
Swinging in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator,
Can't catch me, can't catch me.
Along comes Mister Alligator,
Quiet as can be
And SNAPS that monkey
Right out of that tree!

Two little monkeys
Swinging in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator,
Can't catch me, can't catch me.
Along comes Mister Alligator,
Quiet as can be
And SNAPS that monkey
Right out of that tree!

One little monkey
Swinging in a tree
Teasing Mister Alligator,
Can't catch me, can't catch me.
Along comes Mister Alligator,
Quiet as can be
And SNAPS that monkey
Right out of that tree!
