CHORUS
Wake up go to the kitchen
Early on a Monday morning
What do you see in the kitchen
Early on a Monday morning.

A monkey in the teapot (echo)
You must be dreaming

CHORUS

A monkey in the teapot (echo)
A penguin in the freezer (echo)
You must be dreaming

CHORUS

A monkey in the teapot (echo)
A penguin in the freezer (echo)
A turkey in the toaster (echo)
You must be dreaming.

CHORUS

A monkey in the teapot (echo)
A penguin in the freezer (echo)
A turkey in the toaster (echo)
A duck in the vegemite echo)
You must be dreaming.

CHORUS

A monkey in the teapot (echo)
A penguin in the freezer (echo)
A turkey in the toaster (echo)
A duck in the vegemite echo)
A tiger in the microwave (echo)
You must be dreaming.

CHORUS

A monkey in the teapot (echo)
A penguin in the freezer (echo)
A turkey in the toaster (echo)
A duck in the vegemite echo)
A tiger in the microwave (echo)
A pig in the pepperpot (echo)
You must be dreaming.

Lyrics

Jeffrey Hill liked to cook in the kitchen when
His mother was asleep in bed
But when she awoke and saw what he was doing
Her face was filled with dread – he had

CHORUS
Eggs on his legs, milk on the chair
Sugar on his nose, flour in his hair

Mrs Hill said, “I know you like cooking,
But please do it when I’m awake
I’d like to be around to help with your creating
And avoid some of the mess you make” – things like

CHORUS

Jeffrey cooked a cake for his mother on Mother’s Day
It was to be a big surprise
He tried not to slop things all over the kitchen
But it’s hard when you’re only five – he still got

CHORUS (repeated)

He got – beans on his jeans, goo on his shoe
Peas on his knees, jelly on his belly
Sauce on the horse, fat on the cat
Toast on the post, spaghetti on the jetty
Prunes on the moon, buns on the sun
Onions on his bunions, stickers on his knickers
Eggs on his legs, milk on the chair
Sugar on his nose, flour in his hair
