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.
