Lyrics : Hole in the Bucket (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

Henry?
Henry, did you get me some water?

*deep sigh*

(There's a hole in the bucket
Dear Liza, dear Liza
There's a hole in the bucket
Dear Eliza, a hole)

Well, mend it, dear Henry
Dear Henry, dear Henry
Well, mend it, dear Henry
Henry, mend it!

(With what shall I mend it
Dear Liza, dear Liza?
With what shall I mend it
Dear Liza, with what?)

With straw, dear Henry
Dear Hеnry, dear Henry
With straw, dear Hеnry
With straw!

(With straw)

(I ain't gonna mend it
It's far too much bother
Gonna throw it away
Gonna buy me another)
You're gonna throw it away?
(After all, dear, this is the age of plastics
I mean whoever heard of anybody goin' around tryin' to fix an old bucket?
Except the stingy people, like Harry Belafonte)
Why, Henry, you're so clever (Yes)

To throw out a bucket
With a hole may be wrong
But the business of fixin'
It takes far too long

*whistling*
And so does that song!
