The Naughty Baby Monkey

A mama and a baby monkey
Lived high up on a mango tree
The mama was kind
But the baby’s mind..
Dear! Oh Dear!
Oh! Dear, Dear Me.

One bright sunny day
The baby monkey ran away.
The mama despaired
Scratched all her hair
Dear! Oh Dear!
Oh! Dear, Dear Me

The mama searched the forest through
Everywhere for baby Babloo.
Near the forest edge,
Where grew a berry hedge,
Dear! Oh Dear!
Oh! Dear, Dear Me.

Mama saw baby Babloo tied

Inside a cage very frightened he cried.
Mama, please come and rescue me
I promise a good monkey I’ll be.
Dear! Oh Dear!
Oh Dear, Dear Me!

Mama got her baby out from there

Back home they ran as fast as hares.

I’ll be good as gold

Babloo swore and told.

Dear! Oh Dear!

Oh Dear, Dear Me!
