It's just a rhyme
To pass some time
And most of you are doing fine
The numbers should always be on the decline
It should always be beer and never wine.

Isn't it the 99 bottles of beer on the wall song? If one of those bottles should happen to fall, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.
In England, it's

10 green bottles, hanging on the wall;
10 green bottles, hanging on the wall;
and if one green bottle should accidentally fall...
There'll be 9 green bottles, hanging on the wall.

No, I have no idea why anyone would hang even one bottle on a wall, let alone ten green ones.

What do you do when those bottles are gone?

These are generally walking songs, but counting down means you'll need a new song soon!

The Dutch version counts up:

Quote:
Dit is het eerste couplet
Ik heb een potje met vet
Al op de tafel gezet
Ik heb een potje, potje, potje, potje vet
Al op de tafel gezet

This is the first couplet
I've a bottle of fat
Already put on the table
I have a bottle, bottle, bottle, bottle of fat
Already put on the table

then the second couplet, etc, until the end of time...

It's like the anesthesist asking you to count down from one hundred before an operation.
You start drinking and then you're out way before you reach zero. Then who cares?

two men,
one man and his dog went to mow a meadow

three men went to mow, went to mow a meadow
three men, two men,
one man and his dog went to mow a meadow

four men went to mow, went to mow a meadow
four men, three men, two men,
one man and his dog went to mow a meadow ....etc.
