There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole."

"Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, the hole."

"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, a straw."

"The straw is too long, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The straw is too long, dear Liza, too long."

"Then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, the straw."

"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, an axe."

"The axe is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The axe is too dull, dear Liza, too dull."

"Then sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, the axe."

"With what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
With what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, with what?"

"With a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, a stone."

"The stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry."

"Then wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, the stone."

"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, try water."

"From where shall I get it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
From where shall I get it, dear Liza, from where?"

"From the well, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
From the well, dear Henry, dear Henry, the well."

"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."
