Ten little monkeys all dressed in green

Here is it with "boys" instead of "monkeys"

THREE LITTLE BOYS (Lyrics)

1. Three little boys, dressed all in white,
Trying to get to Heaven on the end of a kite.
But the kite string broke and down they fell,
Instead of going to Heaven they went to Hell.

2. Three little boys, just like goons,
Thought they'd get to Heaven with a bunch of balloons.
But the whole lot popped and down they fell,
Instead of going to Heaven they went to Hell.

3. Three little boys, isn't it absurd?
Tried to get to Heaven on the back of a bird.
But the bird dumped them off and down they fell,
Instead of going to Heaven they went to Hell.

4. Three little boys, they must have been insane,
Tried to ride to Heaven on the tail of a plane!
But they couldn't hold on and again they fell.
A few moments later they went to Hell.

Well now.

My little boys didn't go anywhere but bed. And there were 10 of them. I don't like songs about little boys going to hell but I do really like the "goons" verse!

i remember the monkey song as you've got it boomer, but i don't remember anymore than you do

This is how I learned it - it's a great little ditty!

Three Little Angels


Three little angels all dressed in white
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a kite
But the kite broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

Two little angels all dressed in white
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a kite
But the kite broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

One little angel all dressed in white
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a kite
But the kite broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

Three little devils all dressed in red
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a thread
But the thread broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

Two little devils all dressed in red
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a thread
But the thread broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

One little devil all dressed in red
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a thread
But the thread broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

Three little martians all dressed in green
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a string
But the string broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

Two little martians all dressed in green
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a string
But the string broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

One little martian all dressed in green
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a string
But the string broke and down they all fell
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to --

Don't get excited, don't lose your head
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to bed

Oh! Red and thread sounds right!

So white... kite..

green... string...

(we know the rhymes can be a little sloppy)

red.... thread

(or true rhymes)

While walking the dogs I came up with:

.... dressed in blue.... lace of a shoe....

So that's four.

Six to go.

Taupe... rope?

I have a feeling that we didn't do taupe in the 1960s though.

Hmmmmm......
