I am a girl, I'm eleven years old That's one more than ten and one less than twelve (One dozen) At noon (12 o'clock)
I was eating a cupcake from a baker's dozen (Of cupcakes) That's thirteen cupcakes And the postman rang the doorbell to deliver a package It was a barrel that came from the jungle
One dozen monkeys jumped right out of the monkey barrel Twelve crazy monkeys ran right out of the monkey barrel Eleven monkeys ran up into the tree, one monkey stayed behind And now that monkey rides a bike around with me
Mom was upset with the monkeys in the tree And the monkey on a bike which I named Larry With a dozen bananas she got the monkeys in the barrel And gave it to the postman to send back to the jungle
But then the monkeys jumped back out of the monkey barrel Twelve crazy monkeys ran right out of the monkey barrel Eleven monkeys ran back into the tree, one monkey stayed behind And now that monkey rides a bike around with me
