Eight chocolate bunny rabbits
    Sat upon a shelf
And one bunny looked around
     And then thought to himself:

​

"I hope someone will buy me.
    I’m as pretty as can be."
A customer came in the shop
    And said he wanted three.

​

Five chocolate bunny rabbits
    Sat upon a shelf
And one bunny thought of this
     And then said to himself:

​

"This little girl who’s in our shop –
     Well, will she look at me?"
"Yes, I will buy just two them,'
     And this left only three.

​

So three chocolate bunny rabbits
     Sat upon that shelf.
One chocolate bunny rabbit
     Then said to himself:

​

"Oh two lovely little customers - 
      Someone’s little sons."
"We'll have a bunny each," they said,
      Which left behind just one.

​

There was one bunny sat alone
     Upon his lonely shelf
And this poor little bunny said
      Sadly to himself:

​

"Is there nobody that wants me?"
    And he began to cry,
But then I said: "I'll buy him,"
     So he also said: "Goodbye."

​

There’s an empty shelf in this shop.
     The bunnies all were sold.
But  . . .  you had one for Easter -
     Well, that’s what I was told.
