Hole In the Bucket

There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza, dear Liza,
theres a hole in the bucket dear Liza, a hole,

then drive to Wal-mart dear Henry, dear Henry,
then drive to Wal-mart dear Henry, drive to Wal-mart,

misplaced our car keys, dear Liza, dear Liza,
misplaced our car keys, dear Liza, misplaced our keys,

then ask the neighbor to drive you, dear Henry, dear Henry,
then ask the neighbor to drive you, dear Henry to drive,

he's on vacation, dear Liza, dear Liza,
he's on vacation dear Liza, he's on vacation,

so take the bus up, dear Henry, dear Henry,
so take the bus up, dear Henry, take the bus up,

cannot since busses on strike, dear Liza, dear Liza,
cannot since busses on strike, dear Liza, on strike,

then walk up there, dear Henry, dear Henry,
then walk up there, dear Henry, walk on up there,

but my aching feet hurt dear Liza, dear Liza,
but my aching feet hurt dear Liza, aching feet hurt,

so soak them in epsom salts, dear Henry, dear Henry,
so soak them in epsom salts, dear Henry in epsom salts,

with what should I soak them in, dear Liza, dear Liza,
with what should I soak them in, dear Liza, with what?

I know, there's a hole in the bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry,
don't remind me there's a hole in the bucket, dear Henry, a hole!
