The arrangement of this song might invite to investigate the acustic possibillities
of bottles or glass in general. While exploring there should be a chance
to mention the potentially dangerous aspects of this useful part of our
everyday life: if glass breaks it may cause injuries and
the little splinters are often very difficult to find so they can still
hurt for days to come.
The song:
There were ten green bottles
Standing on the wall.
Ten green bottles
Standing on the wall.
And if one green bottle
Should accidentally fall
There'd be nine green bottles
Standing on the wall.
There were nine green bottles
Standing on the wall.
Nine green bottles
Standing on the wall ...
.....
There was one green bottle
Standing on the wall.
One green bottle
Standing on the wall.
And if this one bottle
Should accidentally fall
There'd be no green bottles
Standing on the wall.
There were no green bottles
Standing on the wall.
No green bottles
Standing on the wall.
And there was no bottle
That could accidentally fall
There were no green bottles
Standing on the wall.
