Five Little Monkeys

"Five Little Monkeys" is an English-language nursery rhyme, children's song, folk song and fingerplay of American origin. It is usually accompanied by a sequence of gestures that mimic the words of the song. Each successive verse sequentially counts down from the starting number.

The song has similar tune to the Austrian folk song “ Wie Böhmen noch bei Öst'rreich war” and first verse of the 1890s folk song "Shortnin' Bread."
