I got a brand new Easter outfit
a coat and hat and all the rest,
but there was one thing more
from the candy store
that I really loved the best.
I got a chocolate rabbit
for a special treat,
a great big chocolate rabbit
sweet enough to eat,
so I ate his ears on Sunday.
His nose I finished Monday,
and Tuesday I nibbled on his feet.
I ate his tail on Wednesday,
Thursday I kept on,
By Friday he was going,
Saturday he was gone.
Oh, I loved my chocolate rabbit
from the moment that he came,
and if I get another one,
I'll love him just the same.
