There's a hole in the bucket... etc

[bigbird]

Henry and Liza were muppets in this cool clip that involved a comedy in song. Henry was going to get water from the well and discovered a hole in the bucket and the song begins:
Henry: "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza"(repeated)
Liza: "so fix it dear Henry dear Henry"(repeated)
Henry: "with what shall I fix it dear Liza, dear Liza"(repeated)
Liza: "with a stick dear Henry, dear Henry"(repeated)
Henry: "with what shall I cut the stick dear Liza"(repeated)
Liza: "with a hatchet dear Henry, dear Henry"(repeated)
Henry: "this blade is too dull dear Liza dear Liza"(repeated)
Liza: "so sharpen it dear Henry dear Henry"(repeated)
Henry: "with what shall I sharpen it dear Liza dear Liza"(repeated)
Liza "With a stone dear Henry dear Henry"(repeated)
Henry: (goes to the stone) "the stone is too dry dear Liza dear Liza"(repeated)
Liza: "so wet it dear Henry dear Henry"(repeated)
Henry: "with what shall I wet it dear Liza dear Liza"(repeated)
Liza: "with water dear Henry dear Henry"(repeated)
Henry: "with what shall I carry the water dear Liza"(repeated)
Liza: "In the bucket dear Henry dear Henry"(repeated)
****finale****
Henry: "there's a hole in the bucket dear Liza dear Liza(repeated)

I remember that it was so funny. As the song progressed Liza gets madder & madder.

Poor Liza. It looked like Henry's simpleminded actions were going to give her a stroke!

I used to love that song as a kid! My brothers and I used to have this song pretty well memorized and would sing it all the time. "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza..."
