Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
1 fell off and bumped his head
Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
4 monkeys were playing on the bed
1 fell off and bumped his head
Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
That is what the doctor said
3 monkeys were playing on the bed
1 fell off and bumped his head
Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
That is what the doctor said
2 monkeys were playing on the bed
1 fell off and bumped his head
Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
That is what the doctor said
1 monkey was playing on the bed
He fell off and bumped his head
Mommy called the children and the children said
Yes more monkeys jumping on the bed
Yes more monkeys jumping on the bed
Yes more monkeys jumping on the bed
Yes more monkeys jumping on the bed
That is what the children said
Yes more monkeys jumping on the bed
That is what the children said
Yes more monkeys jumping on the bed
That is what the children said.
Oh we’re gonna keep on jumpin, yea?
The song "No More Monkeys" by Asheba is a playful children's tune that utilizes a well-known children's rhyme as its basis. The song is written from the perspective of a mother who is trying to protect her children from getting hurt while playing on the bed by introducing the character of a doctor. With each successive verse, the number of monkeys decreases as they fall off the bed and hurt themselves. Eventually, there is only one monkey left on the bed, but instead of calling the doctor, the children insist on continuing to jump and play.
At its core, the song is about the importance of safety and listening to the advice of adults who are trying to protect us. The character of the doctor is used to impart this message in a fun and playful way that young children can easily understand. Additionally, the last verse suggests that sometimes children might not fully heed the advice of adults and may choose to make their own decisions even if they're not the safest ones.
Overall, "No More Monkeys" is a simple and catchy song that encourages children to listen to the advice of the adults around them while maintaining the playful energy of childhood.
