There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza dear Liza

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza a hole

Go fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

Go fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza dear Liza

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza with what

With a straw dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

With a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, with a straw

But the straw is too long, dear Liza dear Liza

The straw is too long, dear Liza too long

Cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

Cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, cut it

With what shall I cut it, dear Liza, dear Liza

With what shall I cut it, dear Liza with what

With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, with an axe

The axe is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza

The axe is too dull, dear Liza too dull

Sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

Sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, hone it

On what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza dear Liza

On what shall I hone it, dear Liza on what

On a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

On a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, with a stone

But the stone is too dry, dear Liza dear Liza

The stone is too dry, dear Liza too dry

Well wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

Well wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, wet it

With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, dear Liza

With what shall I wet it, dear Liza with what

Try water, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

Try water, dear Henry, dear Henry, use water

In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza, dear Liza

In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza in what

In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry

In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, in a bucket

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza a hole
