Ten Green Bottles - Lyrics

Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,
Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,
And if one green bottle should accidentally fall,
There will be nine green bottles hanging on the wall.

Nine green bottles hanging on the wall,
Nine green bottles hanging on the wall,
And if one green bottle should accidentally fall,
There will be eight green bottles hanging on the wall.

Eight green bottles hanging on the wall...
Seven green bottles hanging on the wall...

One green bottle hanging on the wall,
One green bottle hanging on the wall,
And if this green bottle should accidentally fall,
There will no green bottles hanging on the wall.

(in the lyrics, "hanging" are sometimes changed with "standing" or "sitting")
