Puff, puff. Now there are eight. Eight little candles on candle sticks. Puff, puff. Now there are six. Six little candles and not one more.

Puff puff, now there are four. Four little candles for me and for you. Puff puff, now there are two. Two little candles shining bright like the sun.

Now there are none.
