A Hole InThe Bucket Songtext
von 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
