Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

One Dozen Monkeys

I am a girl. I'm 11 years old

That's one more than 10

And one less than 12 (One dozen)

At noon (12 o'clock)

I was eating a cupcake from a baker's dozen (Of cupcakes)

That's 13 cupcakes

And the postman rang the doorbell to deliver a package

It was a barrel that came from the jungle

One dozen monkeys jumped right out of the monkey barrel

12 crazy monkeys ran right out of the monkey barrel

11 monkeys ran up into the tree

One monkey stayed behind and now that monkey rides a bike around with me

Mom was upset with the monkeys in the tree

And the monkey on a bike

Which I named Larry

With a dozen bananas she got the monkeys in the barrel

And gave it to the postman to send back to the jungle

But then the monkeys jumped back out of the monkey barrel

12 crazy monkeys ran right out of the monkey barrel

11 monkeys ran back into the tree

One monkey stayed behind and now that monkey rides a bike around with me

His name is Larry
