There's A Hole In My Bucket Lyrics - Burl Ives

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
