Song with parachute

Here is a video of the song that I learned from my friend Estêvão Marques's group Grupo Triii (Brazil)

 Five Little Monkeys (Wild Monkey Version)

Five little monkeys jumping on the drums

One fell off and bumped his head

Mama called the Sensei and the Sensei said

"NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON THE DRUMS!"

...

One little Monkey jumping on the drums

One fell off and bumped his head

Mama called the Sensei and the Sensei said

"PUT THOSE MONKEYS INTO BED!"
