I learned it as:
“Take one down, pass it around,
98 bottles of beer on the wall.”
There’s a version that apparently was inpsired by teetotallers that goes:
“If one of these bottles should happen to fall,
98 etc.”
I’m solidly in the “drink that beer!” camp.
I was always “take one down, pass it around” so there’s my answer. And I’ve also heard the above variation. Sometimes it helps kill the monotony of the song.
Depends on what number you’re on in the song…
At the beginning it’s “take one down, pass it around…”
Later, after you’re drunk, it’s “if one of those bottles should happen to fall…”
Unless you’re a hardcore drinker.. then it’s always “take one down, pass it around…”
Yep, take one down and pass it around.
Definitely “take one down, pass it around” is the older version.
Indeed. Take one down, pass it around.
Of course it’s take one down and pass it around (although I’m not too sure about this sharing the booze concept but whatever!)
I concur with the other commenters, even though it’s not a good idea during flu season, you “take one down and pass it around.”
P.S. Hi! I’m reading blogs again! The baby gives me a break from time to time! Hi!
uh..
Take one down, pass it around
98 bottles of beer on the wall
Definitely take one down pass it around. Thanks to the alcohol content germs are not a concern. Besides you’re drunk, you’ll feel crappy when you wake up anyway.
you people all suck.
IF ONE OF THOSE BOTTLES SHOULD HAPPEN TO FALL
98 BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL!
it RHYMES!!!
jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!
But, then, we end up with a soggy floor covered in broken glass.
I’m with Scoot. Also, we don’t get drunk, and what fun is that?
