Who Stole The Cookie? Lyrics

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?
Number one stole the cookie from the cookie jar!
Who me?
Yes, you!
Couldn’t be!
Then who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

Number two stole the cookie from the cookie jar!
Who me?
Yes, you!
Couldn’t be!
Then who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

Number three stole the cookie from the cookie jar!
Who me?
Yes, you!
Couldn’t be!
Then who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

Number four stole the cookie from the cookie jar!
Who me?
Yes, you!
Couldn’t be!
Then who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?

Number five stole the cookie from the cookie jar!
And I ate it all up!
Ha, ha!
