Title: There's A Hole In My Bucket

------------------------------------------

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

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

Then mend it, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, dear Goofy

Then mend it, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, then mend it

With what shall I mend it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I mend it, dear Liza, with what?

With some straw, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, dear Goofy

With some straw, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, some straw

The straw is too long, dear Liza, dear Liza

The straw is too long, dear Liza, too long

Then cut it, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, dear Goofy

Then cut it, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, then cut it

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

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

With a knife, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, dear Goofy

With a knife, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, with a knife

The knife is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza

The knife is too dull, dear Liza, too dull

Then sharpen it, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, dear Goofy

Then sharpen it, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, 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 Goofy, dear goofy, dear Goofy

With a stone, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, with a stone

The stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza

The stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry

Then wet it, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, dear Goofy

Then wet it, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, then 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 Goofy, dear Goofy, dear Goofy

With water, dear Goofy, dear Goofy, with water

In what shall I get it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

In what shall I get it, dear Liza, in what?

In a bucket dear Goofy, dear Goofy, dear Goofy

In a bucket dear Goofy, dear Goofy, in a bucket

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

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