My own childhood collection was inspired by Bert of Sesame Street. I thought the bottle caps were so beautiful. Do kids collect them anymore? (I am still known to pick up rocks and shells now and then.)
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 like to pick up shells
I find them by the sea
I like to pick up shells
Some for you and some for me
I like to pick up shells
I’ll bring ‘em home with me
And put my shells on the shelf,
And keep 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 like to pick up rocks
Big and small ones, too
I like to pick up rocks
Some for me and some for you
I like to pick up rocks
And bring ‘em home with me
And put my rocks in a box
And my shells on the shelf,
And keep
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 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 bring 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, bottle caps
Bottle caps, bottle caps
Every one I see
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’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
