Sesame Street - A Hole In The Bucket lyrics

Henry: There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole. Liza: So fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, So fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it. H: With what should I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza, With what should I fix it, dear Liza, with what? L: With a stick, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, With a stick, dear Henry, dear Henry, with a stick. H: But the stick is too big, dear Liza, dear Liza, The stick is too big, dear Liza, too big. L: So cut it dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, So cut it dear Henry, dear Henry, cut it! H: With what should I cut it, dear Liza, dear Liza, With what should I cut it, dear Liza, with what? L: Use the hatchet, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, Use the hatchet, dear Henry, the hatchet. H: But the hatchet's too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza, The hatchet's too dull, dear Liza, too dull. L: So, sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, So sharpen it dear Henry, dear Henry, sharpen it! H: With what should I sharpen it, dear Liza, dear Liza, With what should I sharpen, dear Liza, with what? L: Use the stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, Use the stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, THE STONE!!!! H: But the stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza, The stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry. L: So wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, So wet it dear Henry, dear Henry, WET IT! H: With what should I wet it, dear Liza, dear Liza, With what should I wet it, dear Liza, with what? L: (moves her rocking chair over to Henry and sings fast) With water, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, With water, dear Henry, dear Henry, WATER!!!!! H: With what should I carry it, dear Liza, dear Liza, With what should I carry it dear Liza, with what? L: (crying) Use the bucket dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, Use the bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, the bucket! H: Uh, Liza???? There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole. At this point Liza takes the chair and goes off to live with her mother which is probably what Henry wanted in the first place! ** The original version has the bucket to be thatched with hay that ends up being too long and needs to be cut with a knife that ends up being too dull instead of the Sesame Street version that replaces this with plugging the hole with a stick that needs to be cut down because it is too big, but the hatchet ends up being too dull to do the work.
