There was a cow, she had one bel. She always wore it, but then one day, wel... 1
Stole that bel, ´Cos he was sneaky! A little monkey, Brown and cheeky,
2 And buried his bones, That digging hound... So, he dug a hole In the ground There was a dog, He had two bones. Sometimes one buries What one owns.
But that same little monkey Came back around.

They were items that She could not lose. There was a pony With four horseshoes. 4
The monkey stole them And danced while leaving! Nevertheless, One summer evening,
5 Those light and tasty, Crispy ones. There was a baker. He baked fve buns,
Then ran of juggling them... They were hot! The monkey appeared And took the lot,
T O he n y t k h e e p c t o h ld er di f r e t e f t o c o o r s . y 6 There was an ant, Six slippers she wore.
He didn ’t expect That they would stink! The monkey took them And didn ’t think.
7 To make her look better Than the other girls. There was a princess. She wore seven pearls
Some naughtiness Was being planned. That monkey thief Was lurking and...
8 A crocodile, He loved to smile. He had eight teeth, But one night while...
...He was in bed, The monkey crept, His fngers stealing As the reptile slept.
9 Nine apples grew Upon a tree,
Can you guess who? But someone came A-swinging through, And grabbed those apples...
He combed them often, - He was vain! Ten hairs were in The lion ’ s mane. 10
And those hairs were gone! That pesky monkey Was looking on. One single snip...
He had: There was a monkey. He had lots of stuf. But he never seemed To have enough.
Everyone had lost Something of theirs. 10 hairs. 9 apples and 8 teeth, 7 pearls, 6 slippers, 5 buns, 4 horseshoes, 3 eggs, 1 cowbel 2 bones, ,
But the monkey felt A bit bad inside. Because of him, A cow had cried.
Mum said, “No stealing!” And the lesson was learned. In the end, the things were returned.
