| Song Lyrics (English) | Movement Action |
| Five little monkeys jumping on the bed, | Hold up 5 fingers and jump up and down in place |
| One fell off and bumped his head. | Pretend to fall down and clutch your head |
| Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, | Pretend to pick up the phone and hold it to your ear |
| "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" | Shake your head sternly and point down |
| --- | --- |
| Four little monkeys jumping on the bed... | Repeat the actions with 4 fingers |
| (Continue counting down until zero monkeys are left) | |
| --- | --- |
| No little monkeys jumping on the bed, | Hide all your fingers |
| Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, | Pick up the phone |
| "Put those monkeys straight to bed!" | Pretend to tuck a blanket onto the bed |
