Today is National Hole In My Bucket Day!

Marash Girl and her children used to love to sing "There's a Hole in My Bucket" during their rides to Wilbraham, Massachusetts, those wonderful summers before the tornado destroyed the cabin and the trees on top of Wilbraham Mountain. Below, although in Marash Girl's memory, are the lyrics (somewhat amended) as taken from the internet...Please feel free to sing along. 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 a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, With a straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, a straw. But 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 ax, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, With an ax, dear Henry, dear Henry, an ax. But the ax is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza, The ax is too dull, dear Liza, too dull. Then sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, Then sharpen it dear Henry, dear Henry, sharpen it! With what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, dear Liza, With what shall I sharpen it, dear Liza, with what? With a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, With a stone, dear Henry, dear Henry, a stone. But the stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza, The stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry. Then wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, Then 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? With water, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, With water, dear Henry, dear Henry, water. But how shall I get it?, dear Liza, dear Liza, But how shall I get it?, dear Liza, with what? With the bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, With the bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry, the bucket! But there's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole.
