Notes

Here's a longer version:

Coca Cola went to town
Diet Pepsi shot him down
Dr. Pepper picked him up
Now we're drinking 7-Up
7-Up got the flu
Now we're drinking Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew fell off a mountain
Now we're drinking from a fountain
Fountain broke, people choke,
Now we're back to drinking coke.

Coca-Cola went to town
Pepsi-Cola shot him down
Dr. Pepper fixed him up
Now we're drinking 7-UP
7-UP couldn't cheer
Now we're drinking Root Beer
Root Beer couldn't sing
Now we're done with the entire thing.

Coca Cola went to town,
Diet Pepsi knocked him down,
Sierra Mist picked him up
Now we're drinking Seven Up,
Seven Up caught the flu,
Now we're drinking Mountain Dew,
Mountain Dew fell off the mountain
Now we're drinking from a fountain,
Fountain broke had a stroke
Now we're drinking Cherry Coke,
Cherry Coke lost all its cherries
Now we're drinking Loganberry
Loganberry shot a deer
Now we're drinking root beer,
Root beer lost its taste
Now we're drinking toothpaste,
Toothpaste made me choke
Now we're back to drinking coke!

Coca Cola went to town
Diet Pepsi knocked him down
Dr Pepper picked him up
Now we're drinking 7 Up
7 Up fell down a mountain
Now we're drinking from a fountain
Oh no! The fountain broke now we're drinking Cherry Coke
Cherry Coke fell in the sea
Now we are drinking plain old tea.
