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 Henry
Dear Henry, Dear Henry
Then mend it Dear Henry 
Dear Henry mend it.

With what shall I mend it ?
With straw

With what shall I cut it ?
With an axe

But the axe is too dull
Then sharpen it.

With what shall I sharpen it ?
With a stone.

The stone is too dry.
Then wet it.

With what shall I wet it ?
With water.

In what shall I fetch it ?
In a bucket.
