Ten Green Bottles

Ten green bottles sitting on the wall
Ten green bottles sitting on the wall
And if one green bottle
Should accidentally fall…
For God's sake, pick it up and put it back!
The Duke is coming round
It took me ages putting all these
Bottles on the wall
And if the Master sees one bottle
Even slightly out of place
He's going to yell at us and punish us
And lock us in the cellar.
So be careful with those bottles
If you break one… IF YOU BREAK ONE
Then he'll kill us, don't you understand?
He'll ACTUALLY kill us!
He'll slice us and he'll dice us
And he'll cut us into ribbons
And he'll tear off both our eyelids
And he'll put them back the wrong way round!
…and there'll be nine green bottles sitting on the wall.
