There's a hole in my welly, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There's a hole in my welly, dear Liza, a hole.
Then mend it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Oh mend it, dear Henry, dear Henry, mend it.
With what shall I mend it, dear Liza, dear Liza?
With what shall I mend it, dear Liza, with what?
Try straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With straw, dear Henry, dear Henry, with straw.
But the straw is too long, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The straw is too long, dear Liza, too long.
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.
The ax is too dull, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The ax is too dull, dear Liza, too dull.
Sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Oh sharpen it, dear Henry, dear Henry, hone 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.
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, use water.
The water is over there, dear Liza, dear Liza?
How do I get it, dear Liza, how?
Walk dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Walk, dear Henry, dear Henry, you have legs.
But the floor is wet, dear Liza, dear Liza,
The floor is too wet, dear Liza, too wet.
Wear wellies, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Wear wellies, dear Henry, dear Henry, wellies.
There's a hole in my welly, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There's a hole in my welly, dear Liza, a hole.
I realise how stupid this is because if the floor is wet then he can wet the stone in a puddle.... |
