Five Little Cupcakes

Five little cupcakes in the bakery shop,
You know the kind with the honey and the sugar on top.
Along came ____ with a penny to pay,
S/he bought one cupcake she took it away.
{Repeat for the numbers 4, 3, 2 and 1. Then sing-}
No little cupcakes in the bakery shop,
You know the kind with the honey and the sugar on top.
Along came ____ with a penny to pay,
S/he said, “Boo hoo hoo. I guess I’ll come back another day.”
