Liam Neeson reads 'Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed' on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

LOS ANGELES, March 12 (UPI) -- Action star Liam Neeson put his own unique spin on the children's bedtime story Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week.

"Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mamma called the doctor and the doctor said, 'No more monkeys jumping on the bed.'"

After reading the repetitive tale for several moments, Neeson deadpanned: "This is taking too long, so I will summarize. Listen very carefully."

"All of the monkeys fall off of the bed and the doctor is slightly frustrated, having repeatedly instructed their mother not to allow them to jump on the bed. Besides, why is she calling a doctor and not a vet? This woman is sick and should be committed to a mental institution. The end. Sweet dreams."

Neeson is on the promotion trail for his new movie Run All Night, which opens nationwide Friday.
