The lyrics of the song go like this:
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
Nine green bottles hanging on the wall
Nine green bottles hanging on the wall
And if one green bottle should accidentally fall
There’ll be eight green bottles hanging on the wall
And so on until there are no bottles left on the wall.
Now let’s break down the song and learn how we can use it as a fun and educational tool for babies and toddlers.
