[Lyric] Hole in the Bucket Live at the Royal Albert Hall (Nina & Frederik)

[Intro]
Henry?
Henry, did you get me some water?

deep sigh

[Verse 1]
(There's a hole in the bucket
Dear Liza, dear Liza
There's a hole in the bucket
Dear Eliza, a hole)

[Verse 2]
Well, mend it, dear Henry
Dear Henry, dear Henry
Well, mend it, dear Henry
Henry, mend it!

[Verse 3]
(With what shall I mend it
Dear Liza, dear Liza?
With what shall I mend it
Dear Liza, with what?)
[Verse 4]
With straw, dear Henry
Dear Hеnry, dear Henry
With straw, dear Hеnry
With straw!

(With straw)

[Verse 5]
(I ain't gonna mend it
It's far too much bother
Gonna throw it away
Gonna buy me another)

[Bridge]
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)

[Verse 6]
To throw out a bucket
With a hole may be wrong
But the business of fixin'
It takes far too long
[Outro]
whistling
And so does that song!
