Five Little Monkey's Swinging in the Tree
Five little monkey's swinging in the tree
Teasing Mr Alligator can't catch me, can't catch me
Along came Mr Alligator quiet as can be
And snapped that monkey out that tree
Four little monkey's swinging in the tree
Teasing Mr Alligator can't catch me, can't catch me
Along came Mr Alligator quiet as can be
And snapped that monkey out that tree
Three little monkey's swinging in the tree
Teasing Mr Alligator can't catch me, can't catch me
Along came Mr Alligator quiet as can be
And snapped that monkey out that tree
Two little monkey's swinging in the tree
Teasing Mr Alligator can't catch me, can't catch me
Along came Mr Alligator quiet as can be
And snapped that monkey out that tree
One little monkey's swinging in the tree
Teasing Mr Alligator can't catch me, can't catch me
Along came Mr Alligator quiet as can be
And snapped that monkey out that tree
No more monkey's swinging in the tree!

Playgrounds
In summer I am glad
WE children are so small,
For we can see a thousand things
That men can't see at all.
They don't know much about the moss
And all the stones they pass;
They never lie and play among
The forests in the grass.
They walk about a long way off;
And, when we're at the sea,
Let father stoop as best he can
He can't find things like me.
But when the snow is on the ground,
And all the puddles freeze,
I wish that I were very tall,
High up above the trees.
