Five little monkeys(5 fingers held over other arm (4 for next verse, etc))

Quiet as can be

One of our viewers wrote in with a slight variation:
"In the song "five cheeky monkey" or "teasing Mr Crocodile" I usually add after 'SNAP' 'Monkeys for tea'. So it reads:
5 silly monkeys
sitting in a tree,
Teasing mr crocodile
'you catch catch me'.
Along comes Mr Crocodile, quiet as can be.
SNAP
Monkeys for tea!
