A Gift for Mommy

I want to get a gift for Mommy

For this Mother’s day

Let me think, what could I find?

I don’t have money to pay!

I know she likes some fancy shoes

I bet she’d like them blue!

Maybe a fancy, party ring?

A lovely purple one could be the thing!

A mug for the coffee she likes to drink?

I know she likes the color pink!

Or a purse to carry all her stuff

A red one might be big enough!

An orange scarf, fresh and light,

With white polka dots, could be right!

I know what I can give to Mommy

I know that this won’t miss!

I’ll tell her, “Mommy, I love you”
With a great big hug and kiss!

M-O-M-M-Y
(sung to B-I-N-G-O)
I love her and she loves me
And mommy is her name-o
M-O-M-M-Y, M-O-M-M-Y, M-O-M-M-Y
And mommy is her name-o

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Momma called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Momma called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Momma called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Momma called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

One little monkey jumping on the bed
He fell off and bumped his head
Momma called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

No little monkeys jumping on the bed
None fell off and bumped his head
Momma called the doctor and the doctor said
Put those monkeys back in bed!
