Oh, my bucket got a hole in it 

Oh, my bucket got a hole in it 

Oh, my bucket got a hole in it 

Can't buy no beer 

When you're walkin' down 31st Street 

You had better look around 

Police firin' squad is on their beat 

An you'll be jailhouse bound 

(trumpet) 'Play it!' 

They ain't-a standin' on the corner 

Ev'rything was so slow 

Can't make no money 

Tricks ain't walkin' no mo' 

(piano) 'Oh, play it, boy' 

Gonna start a new racket 

Gonna start it out right 

Gonna sell moonshine in the day 

An peddle dope at night 

Then if I can't make no money 

Goin' a catch the Santa Fe 

Goin'a drink good liquor 

And let all women be. 

(trumpet & all to end) 'Pla-ay!'
