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!

Rosy Apple Lemon or Pear
Rosy apple, lemon, or pear,
Bunch of roses she shall wear;
Gold and silver by her side,
I know who will be the bride.
Take her by her lily-white hand,
Lead her to the altar;
Give her kisses--one, two, three
Mother's runaway daughter.
