One Dozen Monkeys Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

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 

Photos 

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
