Deep in the jungle where they don't deliver mail
Three little monkeys were hanging by their tails
And whenever they didn't have anything to do
They'd go down to the river and call out
"YOO-HOO, YOO-HOO, oh, YOO-HOO
Mr. Crocodile, Mr. Crocodile."
They'd stick their thumbs in their ears and say
"Oh, Crocky, dear."
"NANNY NANNY BOO BOO you can't catch us
Even if you wanted to
NANNY NANNY BOO BOO you can't catch us
NANNY NANNY BOO BOO to you."
Now, old Mr. Crocodile, he's lazy and fat
Yeah, but he's no dummy he knows where it's at
And he said, "Little monkeys, there's water in my ear
Come a little closer so that I can hear."
Then all of a sudden and just like that
Mr. Crocodile's mighty jaws go SNAP!
Deep in the jungle where there are no power lines
Two little monkeys were swinging from the vines
And whenever they didn't anything to do
They'd go down to the river and call out
"YOO-HOO, YOO-HOO, oh, YOO-HOO
Mr. Crocodile, Mr. Crocodile."
They'd stick their thumbs in their ears and say
"Oh, Crocky, dear."
"NANNY NANNY BOO BOO you can't catch us!
Even if you wanted to
NANNY NANNY BOO BOO you can't catch us!
NANNY NANNY BOO BOO to you!"
Now, old Mr. Crocodile just lies in the sun
While the two little monkeys are having their fun
And he said, "Little monkeys, you've got nothing to fear!
Come a little closer so that I can hear."
Then all of a sudden and just like that
Mr. Crocodile's mighty jaws go SNAP!
Deep in the jungle where there are no telephones
One little monkey was playing all alone
And whenever he didn't have anything to do
He'd go down to the river and call out
"YOO-HOO, YOO-HOO, oh, YOO-HOO
Mr. Crocodile, oh, Mr. Crocodile."
He'd stick his thumbs in his ears and say
"Hey, Crock! Over here!"
"NANNY NANNY BOO BOO, you can't catch me!
Even if you wanted to
Oh, no, no, NANNY NANNY BOO BOO, you can't catch me!
NANNY NANNY BOO BOO to you!"
Now old Mr. Crocodile knows what to do
He waits 'til the little monkey is through
And he said, "Hey little monkey, if you'd like to play
Come a little closer and make my day."
Then all of a sudden and just like that
Mr. Crocodile's mighty jaws go SNAP!
Deep in the jungle where nobody sees
Old Mr. Crocodile is as fat as can be
And whenever he doesn't have anything to do
He swims and he sings
"One, two, three, four
NANNY NANNY BOO BOO to you!"
