Teams sing the verses |
There's a hole in my bucket,
dear Liza, dear Liza,
There's a hole in
my bucket,
dear Liza, a hole.
Well fix it, dear Henry,
dear Henry, dear Henry,
Well fix it, dear
Henry, well fix it.
With what shall fix it, . . .
With straw, . . .
The straw is too
long, . . .
Well cut it, . . .
With what shall I cut it, . . .
With
an axe, . . .
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, . . .
With a bucket, . . .
There's a hole in my bucket, . . .

[Tune: The More We Get Together.]
Did you ever see a horse fly, a horse fly, a horse fly?
Did you ever see
a horse fly, a horse fly, fly, fly?
Did you ever see a board walk,...
