Yea! my bucket's got a hole in it
Yea! my bucket's got a hole in it
Yea! my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer.

Well i'm standin' on a corner - with a bucket in my hand
I'm waitin' for a woman - that ain't got no man.

Cause my bucket's got a hole in it
Yea! my bucket's got a hole in it
Yea! my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer.

Well, i went upon the mountain - i looked down in the sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes - doin' the be-bop-bee.

Well, there ain't no use - of me workin' so hard
When i got a woman - in the boss man'syard.

Well, me and my baby - we just bought a ford
And now we sit together - on the running board.
