Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, I went upon a mountain
I looked down in the sea
I seen the crowds and the fishes
Doing the be bop beep
'Cause my buckets got a hole in it
Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, I'm standing on the corner
With a bucket in my hand
I'm a waitin' for a woman
That ain't got no man
'Cause my buckets got a hole in it
Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer

Well, me and my baby
We bought a Ford
And now we sit together
On the running board
'Cause my buckets got a hole in it
Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
Yes, my buckets got a hole in it
I can't buy no beer
