Lyrics
Five little joeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped its head
Called up the doctor and the doctor said
"No more joeys jumping on the bed"
Four little joeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped its head
Called up the doctor and the doctor said
"No more joeys jumping on the bed"
Three little joeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped its head
Called up the doctor and the doctor said
"No more joeys jumping on the bed"
Two little joeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped its head
Called up the doctor and the doctor said
"No more joeys jumping on the bed"
One little joey jumping on the bed
The joey fell off and bumped its head
Called up the doctor and the doctor said
"No more joeys jumping on the bed"
One silly doctor jumping on the bed
He fell off and he bumped his head
Called up the joeys and the joeys said
"No silly doctors jumping on the bed"
