They Might Be Giants, Hannah Levine - One Dozen Monkeys lyrics

[They Might Be Giants, Hannah Levine - One Dozen Monkeys lyrics]

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
