Song: The Monkeys and the Alligator - Fingerplay

5 little monkeys
Swinging in a tree
Teasing Mr. Alligator,
"Can't catch me!"
Along comes Mr. Alligator
Quiet as can be (whisper this part loudly)
SNAP!!! 
4 little monkeys... 3 little monkeys... 2 little monkeys... 1 little monkey
No more monkeys swinging in the tree!
