Origin:
This is a traditional English language song that can be used for skipping (jump rope) and can be played with hand actions so that each of your fingers represent a monkey.
It is also a useful song for teaching signing and counting.
I added the last two verses so the monkeys’ Daddy becomes a part of the story as well. At the end I changed the arrangement from the traditional ‘Shortnin’ Bread’ to something that sounded more like a lullaby so the monkeys can go to sleep.

Lyrics:
five little monkeys jumping on the bed
one fell off and bumped his head
mama called the doctor and the doctor said
no more monkeys jumping on the bed
four little monkeys jumping on the bed
one fell off and bumped her head
mama called the doctor and the doctor said
no more monkeys jumping on the bed
three little monkeys jumping on the bed
one fell off and bumped his head
mama called the doctor and the doctor said
no more monkeys jumping on the bed
two little monkeys jumping on the bed
one fell off and bumped her head
mama called the doctor and the doctor said
no more monkeys jumping on the bed
one little monkey jumping on the bed
one fell off and bumped his head
mama called the doctor and the doctor said
no more monkeys jumping on the bed
no more monkeys jumping on the bed
none fell off or bumped their heads
mama called for daddy and daddy said
all you little monkeys
get back into bed
five little monkeys sleeping in the bed
snuggling in their blankets, pillow for their heads.
mama turned to daddy and daddy said
see you in the morning and we'll bake banana bread.
