5 green monkeys knocking on a door.
One went inside and then there were 4
1 – 2 – . 1 2 3 4
4 green monkeys knocking on a door.

4 green monkeys playing in a tree
One went inside and then there were 3
1 – 2 – . 1 2 3 –
3 green monkeys playing in a tree.

3 green monkeys went to the zoo
One went inside and then there were 2
1 – 2 – . 1 – 2 –
2 green monkeys went to the zoo.

2 green monkeys playing in the sun
One went inside and then there was 1
1 – – – . 1 – – –
1 green monkey playing in the sun.

1 green monkey went for a run
He went inside and then there were none
None – – – . None – – –
No green monkeys having fun.

One green monkey found a canoe
Invited a friend and then there were 2
1 – 2 – . 1 – 2 –
2 green monkeys in a canoe.

Two green monkeys swam in the sea
They met a friend and then there were 3
1 – 2 – . 1 2 3 –
3 green monkeys swam in the sea.

3 green monkeys looked at the shore
Met another friend and then there were 4
1 – 2 – . 1 2 3 4
4 green monkeys looked at the shore.

4 green monkeys went for a drive
Met another friend and then there were 5
1 – 2 – 3 4 5
5 green monkeys went for a drive.

5 green monkeys who were all friends
Arranged to meet and do it all again
Arranged to meet and do it all again!
