A recorded reading of “Blue Bottle Cap”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
A lucky blue cap winks from the dust; tiny tin circle, big-song sound. I pocket a slice of sky to keep the bright around; click, snap. Click, snap, laugh back: lucky blue bottle cap. Spin it on the table; the small world turns fast. Wish good; make the good ones last. Every small shine keeps the shadows in the past; spin, spin, hold fast. The hook loops a grin; the dance begins, click, snap, laugh back, lucky blue bottle cap, and the spin runs down into a soft blue hush.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro: flick-tink foley into whistle riff] (Tink—tink) lucky sound. [Verse 1] Found a blue bottle cap, lucky on the ground. Tiny tin circle with a big-song sound. [Pre-Chorus] Pocketed the sky to keep the bright around. (Click—snap) joy found. [Chorus] Click—snap—laugh back Lucky blue bottle cap Click—snap—laugh back Lucky blue bottle cap [Verse 2] Spin it on the table—little world turns fast. Make a wish for goodness; make the good ones last. [Pre-Chorus] Every small shine keeps the shadows in the past. (Spin—spin) hold fast. [Instrumental: whistle dances on the hook] (Dee-dee-dee) loop the grin. (Dee-dee-dee) dance begin. [Chorus] Click—snap—laugh back Lucky blue bottle cap Click—snap—laugh back Lucky blue bottle cap [Outro] (Cap spin fades)
