THE RATTLING CAN
(Clarke / Wilde) Based on the traditional Irish tune “The Rattling Bog”
(CHORUS) O Ro the rattling can
The can down on the avenue
O Ro the rattling can
The can down on the avenue

In that can there was a box
A rare box, a rattling box
The box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)

In that box there was a bag
A rare bag a rattling bag
The bag in the box
And the box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)

In that bag there was a bottle
A rare bottle, a rattling bottle
The bottle in the bag
And the bag in the box
And the box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)

In that bottle there was some juice
Rare juice, rattling juice
The juice in the bottle
And the bottle in the bag
And the bag in the box
And the box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)

In that juice there were some bubbles
Rare bubbles, rattling bubbles
The bubbles in the juice
And the juice in the bottle
And the bottle in the bag
And the bag in the box
And the box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)

In those bubbles there was some gas
Rare gas, rattling gas
The gas in the bubbles
And the bubbles in the juice
And the juice in the bottle
And the bottle in the bag
And the bag in the box
And the box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)

In that gas there were some atoms
Rare atoms, rattling atoms
The atoms in the gas
And the gas in the bubbles
And the bubbles in the juice
And the juice in the bottle
And the bottle in the bag
And the bag in the box
And the box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)

In those atoms were some protons
Rare protons, rattling protons
The protons in the atoms
And the atoms in the gas
And the gas in the bubbles
And the bubbles in the juice
And the juice in the bottle
And the bottle in the bag
And the bag in the box
And the box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)

In those protons was some quark
Rare quark, rattling quark
The quark in the protons
And the protons in the atoms
And the atoms in the gas
And the gas in the bubbles
And the bubbles in the juice
And the juice in the bottle
And the bottle in the bag
And the bag in the box
And the box in the can
And the can down on the avenue
(CHORUS)
