Five Little Monkeys

Five little monkeys
  (hold up five fingers)
Swinging in a tree.
  (swing hands over head)
Teasing Mr. Crocodile

"You can't catch me!"

Up comes Mr. Crocodile quiet as can be,
  (palms together, move hands upward)
Snapped that monkey right out of the tree!
  (clap hands, sharply)

  (Repeat with....
     Four...
    Three...
     Two....
