The Beer Bottle
(Tune: Sing a Song of Cities)

'Twas only an old beer bottle, floating on the foam.
'Twas only an old beer bottle, a thousand miles from home.
Inside was a piece of paper, with these words written on;
"Whoever finds this bottle, finds the beer all gone,
The beer all gone, the beer all gone,
Whoever finds this bottle, finds the beer all gone."
