Pete Seeger - Hole in the Bucket lyrics

[Pete Seeger - Hole in the Bucket lyrics]

There's a hole in the bucket
Dear Eliza, dear Eliza
There's a hole in the bucket
Dear Eliza, there's a hole

Then fix it, dear Willy
Dear Willy, dear Willy
Then fix it, dear Willy dear Willy, fix it

With what shall I fix it?
Dear Eliza, dear Eliza
With what shall I fix it?
Dear Eliza, with what?
With straw, dear Willy
Dear Willy, dear Willy
With straw, dear Willy
Dear Willy, with straw

But how shall I cut it?
Dear Eliza, dear Eliza
But how shall I cut it?
Dear Eliza, just how?

With a knife, dear Willy
Dear Willy, dear Willy
With a knife, dear Willy
Dear Willy, with a knife

But the knife needs sharpening
Dear Eliza, dear Eliza
The knife needs sharpening
Dear Eliza, needs sharpening

Then sharpen it, dear Willy
Dear Willy, dear Willy
Then sharpen it, dear Willy
Dear Willy, then sharpen it

With what shall I sharpen it?
Dear Eliza, dear Eliza
With what shall I sharpen it?
Dear Eliza, with what?
With a stone, dear Willy
Dear Willy, dear Willy
With a stone, dear Willy
Dear Willy, with a stone

But the stone needs water
Dear Eliza, dear Eliza the stone needs water
Dear Eliza, needs water

The fetch it, dear Willy
Dear Willy, dear Willy
Then fetch it, dear Willy
Dear Willy, fetch it

With what shall I fetch it?
Dear Eliza, dear Eliza
With what shall I fetch it?
Dear Eliza, with what?

In a bucket, dear Willy
Dear Willy, dear Willy
In a bucket, dear Willy
Dear Willy, in a bucket

There's a hole in the bucket
Dear Eliza, dear Eliza
There's a hole in the bucket
Dear Eliza, there's a hole
