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. 

'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, there ain't no  use - of me workin' so  hard
When I got a  woman - in the boss man's  yard. 

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

'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.
