Ten Green Bottles

Ten Green Bottles

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

:"Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,":"Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,":"And if one green bottle should accidentally fall,":"There'll be nine green bottles hanging on the wall."

There are variants with "standing" or "sitting" instead of "hanging". Other variants include Ten German Bombers and the American 99 Bottles of Beer.

There is also a variation in french called Les Moutons (The Muttons) sung by Jacques Brel in the album 'Les flamandes' (1961).
