One little monkey jumping on the bed,
He fell off and bumped his head!
Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said,
"Put those monkeys back in bed!" (put monkeys back in bed!)
*One of my library assistants made a bed on a paint stick that works perfectly with a set of small monkeys we had. For each monkey that I took off, I put it on the back of the flannel bed. After the last verse to put the monkeys back in bed, I just rotated the stick around and all the monkeys were already in bed again!*
