TEN LITTLE BOTTLES
Johnny Bond

A friend of mine gave me ten little bottles
Of some special stuff he'd brewed up himself
So I took it and hid it down in my basement
But my wife found out about it
And she told me to get rid of it or else
Since I didn't like the way she said, "Or else!"
I proceeded to carry out her instructions
I set the ten little bottles on the drainboard
Picked up the first bottle
Pulled the cork out of it, and poured it down the sink
All except one little swaller, which I drank
I picked up the next cork and pulled the sink out of it
And I poured it down the . . sink
All except one little swaller, which I drank
I picked up the next cork and pulled the sink out of it
And I poured it down the bottle
All except one teensy-weensy swaller, which I sank, er, drank
I usually have a little difficulty with this number
You see, I come from a great long line of stinkers, er! drinkers
I had an uncle that drank a quart a day, every day of his life
No kidding, he could drink a quart a day, and not even stagger
Heck, he couldn't even move, we told him, we says
"You better quit drinking that stuff, it's gonna kill you."
Sure enough, it killed him
He died last year at the age of 102
