TEN GREEN BOTTLES

(Tune: erm...)

NOTE.--This song became freely adapted to the form exemplified here early in the Aquarian Age, when starships powered by contained introctive fields, known as "green bottles", became cheaply available to the public. The effects of an introction leakage, while limited in range and duration, could often be fully as eccentric as those given hereinunder.
Ordinarily, this song would be sung in round-robin form, with each singer in the circle expected to invent an original and humorous variation.

Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,
Ten green bottles hanging on the wall,
And if one green bottle should accident'ly fall
There'll be nine blue bottles hanging on the wall.

Nine blue bottles hanging on the wall,
Nine blue bottles hanging on the wall,
And if one blue bottle should accident'ly fall
There'll be eight blue aardvarks hanging on the wall.

Eight blue aardvarks hanging on the wall,
Eight blue aardvarks hanging on the wall,
And if one blue aardvark should accident'ly fall
There'll be seven blue aardvarks dancing on the wall.

Seven blue aardvarks dancing on the wall,
Seven blue aardvarks dancing on the wall,
And if one blue aardvark should accident'ly fall
There'll be six giant blue aardvarks dancing on the wall.

Six giant blue aardvarks dancing on the wall,
Six giant blue aardvarks dancing on the wall,
And if one giant blue aardvark should accident'ly fall
There'll be five giant blue Jesuit aardvarks dancing on the wall.

Five giant blue Jesuit aardvarks dancing on the wall,
Five giant blue Jesuit aardvarks dancing on the wall,
And if one giant blue Jesuit aardvark should accident'ly fall
There'll be four giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
dancing on the wall.

Four giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
dancing on the wall
Four giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
dancing on the wall
And if one giant blue Jesuit aardvark in diving boots
 should accident'ly fall
There'll be three giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pangolin
dancing on the wall.

Three giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pangolin
dancing on the wall,
Three giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pangolin
dancing on the wall,
And if one giant blue Jesuit aardvark in diving boots
or a purple-spotted pangolin
 should accident'ly fall
There'll be two giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
dancing on the wall.

Two giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
dancing on the wall,
Two giant blue Jesuit aardvarks in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
dancing on the wall,
And if one giant blue Jesuit aardvark in diving boots
or a purple-spotted pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
 should accident'ly fall
There'll be one giant blue Jesuit aardvark in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pantheistic pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
dancing on the wall.

One giant blue Jesuit aardvark in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pantheistic pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
dancing on the wall,
One giant blue Jesuit aardvark in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pantheistic pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
dancing on the wall,
And if one giant blue Jesuit aardvark in diving boots
or a purple-spotted pantheistic pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
 should accident'ly fall...
There'll be three hundred giant blue Jesuit aardvarks
 in diving boots
and a purple-spotted pantheistic pangolin
who speaks fluent Swahili
dancing on the wall!

(At which point the count can start again.)
