There's a Hole in the Bucket

      There's a hole in the bucket,
     Dear Liza, dear Liza
 There's a hole in the bucket,
   Dear Liza, there's a hole.

   Then fix it, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, dear Henry
   Then 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
   But the straw is too long,
     Dear Liza, too long

   Then cut it, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, dear Henry
   Then 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, an axe.

     The axe is too dull,
     Dear Liza, dear Liza
     The axe is too dull,
      Dear Liza, too dull

 Then sharpen it, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, dear Henry
 Then sharpen it, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, sharpen it.

 With what shall I sharpen it,
    Dear Liza, dear Liza?
 With what shall I sharpen it,
    Dear Liza, with what?

  With a stone, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, dear Henry
  With a stone, dear Henry,
     Dear Henry, a stone.

     The stone is too dry,
     Dear Liza, dear Liza
     The stone is too dry,
      Dear Liza, too dry

   Then wet it, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, dear Henry
   Then 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?

   With water, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, dear Henry
   With water, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, with water.

      How shall I get it,
    Dear Liza, dear Liza,
      How shall I get it,
   Dear Liza, how shall I?

  In the bucket, dear Henry,
   Dear Henry, dear Henry
  In the bucket, dear Henry,
  Dear Henry, in the bucket.

 There's a hole in the bucket.
