There's a hole in my Bucket!

she heard this nursery rhymes first in my ipod, ie. iOS's apps...

then, she heard it again, (another version) on an album, we played for her in our car...

somehow she was "attracted" to the tunes, and start singing, (without the correct lyrics, but she got the tunes right!)

so, I told her, I'll get the lyrics for her, and teach her how to sing correctly...

there, that's the lyrics,

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,

There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, with what?

With straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

With straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, with straw.

The straw is too long, dear Liza, dear Liza,

The straw is too long, dear Liza, too long,

Then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Then cut it, dear Henry, dear Henry, cut it.

With what shall I cut it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I cut it, dear Liza, with what?

With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

With an axe, dear Henry, dear Henry, with an axe.

The axe is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza,

The axe is too dull, dear Liza, too dull.

Then sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Then sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, hone it.

On what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

On what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, on what?

On a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

With a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, a stone.

The stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza,

The stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry.

Well wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Well wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, wet it.

With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

With what shall I wet it, dear Liza, with what?

try water, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

try water, dear Henry, dear Henry, water.

In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

In what shall I fetch it, dear Liza, in what?

In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

In a bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, bucket.

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza,

There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole.

it's a funny song... if you ask me, even the tune's funny...

then, after I sing and get the sequence right,

I was telling him, that, after singing this song,

if I'm the guy Henry,

I'll want to scold Liza, "damn woman!! moron! that's why I tell you THAT there's a hole in my bucket LA!!!" haha!!!!!!

similar song to this type of sequential nursery rhymes are...

(you can go check it out!)

"hush little baby!",

and "farmer in the dell!"

well... it's quite "challenging" even for me to pick it up... cos, you gotta get the sequence right...

kekekeke...
