Ten Green Bottles

"Ten Green Bottles" is a song that is popular in the United Kingdom. In essence, the song is a single verse repeated, each time with one bottle fewer:

10 green bottles sitting on the wall,

10 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall,

There'll be 9 green bottles hanging on the wall.

9 green bottles hanging on the wall,

9 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall,

There'll be 8 green bottles hanging on the wall.

8 green bottles hanging on the wall,

8 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall,

There'll be 7 green bottles hanging on the wall.

7 green bottles hanging on the wall,

7 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall,

There'll be 6 green bottles hanging on the wall.

6 green bottles hanging on the wall,

6 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall,

There'll be 5 green bottles hanging on the wall.

5 green bottles hanging on the wall,

5 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall

There'll be 4 green bottles hanging on the wall.

4 green bottles hanging on the wall,

4 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall,

There'll be 3 green bottles hanging on the wall.

3 green bottles hanging on the wall,

3 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall,

There'll be 2 green bottles hanging on the wall.

2 green bottles hanging on the wall,

2 green bottles hanging on the wall,

And if 1 green bottle should accidentally fall,

There'll be 1 green bottle hanging on the wall.

1 green bottle hanging on the wall,

1 green bottle hanging on the wall,

And it that green bottle should accidentally fall

There'll be no more bottles hanging on the wall.
