English[]
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"
Español (Cinco Canguritos)[]

(Ningún cangurito brincando en el colchón!)
(Sigan brincando!)
Cuatro canguritos brincando en el colchón
Uno se cayó y se hizo un chichón.
Vino el doctor y les dijo así,
(Ningún cangurito brincando en el colchón!)
Tres canguritos brincando en el colchón
Uno se cayó y se hizo un chichón.
Vino el doctor y les dijo así,
(Ningún cangurito brincando en el colchón!)

Dos canguritos brincando en el colchón
Uno se cayó y se hizo un chichón.

Un cangurito brincando en el colchón
El se cayó y se hizo un chichón.
Vino el doctor y les dijo así,
(Ningún cangurito brincando en el colchón!)
