A friend of mine gave me ten little bottles
Of some special stuff that he brewed up his-self
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
And since I didn't like the way she said or else
I went down there and proceeded to carry out her instructions

I sat the ten little bottles on the drainboard
Picked up the first bottle, pulled the cork out of it
And pored it down the sink
That is, um, all except one little swallow - which I drank

I picked up the next bottle and I pulled the cork out of it
And poured it down the sink
All except one little swallow, which I drank

I picked up the next bottle and I pulled the sink out of it
And I poured it down the cork
All except one little swallow, which I drank

I picked up the next cork and I pulled the bottle out of it
And I poured it down the sink
All except one little drink, which I drank

I picked up the next sink and I pulled the cork out of it
And I poured it down the bottle
All except one little swallow, which I sank

I picked up the next drink and I pulled the swallow out of it
And I poured it down the sink
All except one little drink, I think

Well anyway by this time it's plain to see
That them little bottles of mine, let's see now
How many bottles have I got left, which I drank

Now I'm askin' you wasn't that a awful thing for my wife to make me do
Bless her little heart, bl-less her little heart, I'm tellin' ya one thing
You better not say nothin' against my wife buster
Cause I'll have you know, I'll, have, you, know
That I've got da wifest little nice you ever saw in your [hicc]
Which I drank
