Here is a solo version and a three-part round version of this song, so you can get the tune and round bits.

 

Fish and chips and vinegar, vinegar, vinegar.

Fish and chips and vinegar,

Pepper, pepper, pepper, salt.

Three bottle pop, four bottle pop,

Five bottle pop, six bottle pop,

Seven bottle pop, pop!

 

Don't throw your muck [alt: "junk"] in my backyard,

Don't throw your muck  [alt: "junk"] in my backyard!

My backyard's full.

Correspondent Marylee Armour learned it as "One Bottle Of Pop" and the song started with this verse:

 

One bottle of pop, two bottle of pop, three bottle of pop

four bottle of pop, five bottle of pop, six bottle of pop, seven, seven bottle of pop.

 

Then, went to "Fish & Chips" and "Don't throw your junk..."
