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 find no work.

Well, I'm standing on the corner
With my 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 find me no job.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I went upon a mountain
I looked down in the sea
I seen the crabs and the fishes
Doin' the bebop bee.

'Cause my bucket's got a big hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
Yeah, my bucket's got a hole in it
I can't find no work.

--- Instrumental ---

Well. it ain't no use for me
Workin' so hard
When I got a woman
In the bossman'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 find no work...
