So his monkey friends, they made a plan
One balloon, two balloons
La, la, la, li, li, li, li, it's all of 10 balloons.
Get this monkey, he said, balloons.
10 balloons, 10 balloons.
Li, li, li, li, li, la, la, la.
One, two, three, four, five,
Red monkey brought in six
and also brought a spoon.
Green monkey wants ten balloons.
Get this monkey his ten balloons.
Ten balloons, ten balloons.
Le, le, le, le, lo, lo, lo.
Seven balloons is quite a lot,
but still not ten balloons.
Eight oh eight, yes eight balloons,
nine balloons attached to twine.
Just one more and he'd be fine,
cos he'd have ten balloons!
Get this monkey his ten balloons,
Ten balloons, ten balloons!
Gary, if you give him that
he'll have his ten balloons!
It's too much green monkeys,
Watch a monkey float away
from holding ten balloons!
Monkey has his ten balloons,
The monkey wanted ten balloons,
What monkey didn't realize
Is that ten is quite a lot.
