There's a hole in my bucket

Dear Liza, dear Liza
Mend the hole then dear Willie
You silly mend it

With what shall I mend it
Dear Liza, dear Liza
With a straw then dear Willy

You silly with a straw
But the straw is too long
Dear Liza, dear Liza

Cut the straw then dear Willie
You silly cut the straw
With what shall I cut it

Dear Liza, dear Liza
With a knife then dear Willie
You silly with a knife

But the knife is too dull
Dear Liza, dear Liza
Whet the knife then dear Willie

You silly whet the knife
With what will I whet it
Dear Liza, dear Liza

With a stone then dear Willie
You silly with a stone
But the stone is too rough

Dear Liza, dear Liza
Smooth the stone then dear Willie
You silly smooth the stone

With what shall I smooth it
Dear Liza, dear Liza
With water dear Willie

You silly with water
In what shall I carry it
Dear Liza, dear Liza

In a bucket dear Willie
You silly in a bucket
But there's a hole in my bucket

Dear Liza, dear Liza
Then mend it dear Willie
You silly mend it
