Bottle Caps©
I love to walk outside
I look down on the ground
What do you think I’ll find?
What do you think I’ve found
A beautiful bottle cap
Purple orange silver gold and green
I’ll take it home with me.
Collecting bottle caps bottle caps
Bottle caps bottle caps every one I see
Collecting bottle caps bottle caps
Bottle caps bottle caps every one I see
I love to pick up shells
I find them by the sea
I love to pick up shells
Some for you and some for me
I love to pick up shells
I’ll bring them home with me
And put my shells on the shelf and keep
Collecting bottle caps…
I love to pick up rocks
Big and small ones too
I love to pick up rocks
Some for me and some for you
I love to pick up rocks
I’ll take them home with me
And put my rocks in a box
And my shells on the shelf and keep
Collecting bottle caps…
I like to pick up string
I find it one two three
I like to pick up string
Some for you and some for me
I like to pick up string I’ll take it home with me
And put my string in something
And my rocks in a box
And my shells on the shelf and keep
Collecting bottle caps…
I’ve got some new ones old ones
Blue ones gold ones every one I see
I’ve got some red ones brown ones
Flat ones round ones every one I see
Collecting bottle caps bottle caps
Bottle caps bottle caps every one I see

I haven’t noticed bottle caps, but when my oil tank was dug up a few years back they found an old bottle from Rotella’s Beverages, Newark, NJ est. 1905 (no cap on it). The soda bottle is very-very thick and I just use it for flowers now 🙂
I played a childhood game in Brooklyn, NY, called “skelly.” It used bottle caps. Anybody remember this?
