Lyrics:

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