A Hole In The Bucket Lyrics - Belafonte Returns To Carnegie Hall - Harry Belafonte

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 

Oh, 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 

Well, 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, on 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
