There were 5 chickens
And one went into the barn
Then there were 4 chickens

There were 4 chickens
And one went into the barn
Then there were 3 chickens

There were 3 chickens
And one went into the barn
Then there were 2 chickens

There were 2 chickens
And one went into the barn
Then there was 1 chicken

There was 1 chicken
And it went into the barn
Then there were no chickens

There were no chickens
And they all came out of the barn
Then there were lots of chickens
