The itsy bitsy monkey
climbed up the coconut tree
[Have hands climb.]
Down came a coconut that bopped him on the knee
[Drop fist from over head to hit yourself on the knee.]
Along came his Mama, who kissed away the pain
[Kiss your fist.]
Then the itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the tree again
[Climb hands again -having kids stretch as high as they can reach.
[Have hands climb.]
Down came a coconut that bopped him on the knee
