One Dozen Monkeys

I am a girl, I'm 11 years old

That's one more than 10 and one less than 12 (One dozen)

At noon (12 o'clock) I was eating a cupcake

From a baker's dozen (Of cupcakes), that's 13 cupcakes

Then 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

His name is Larry
