Inspired by the book 'Go The F*ck To Sleep' by Adam Mansbach, I present a song relating the struggles of bedtime for parents.
There's A Hole In My Bucket May I Have Some Water? not by Anon
May I have some water, dear Mother, dear
Mother?
May I have some water, dear Mother, water?
You’ve
had some, dear Child, dear Child, dear Child,
You’ve
had some, dear Child, dear Child, no more.
May I have some milk then, dear Mother, dear
Mother?
May I have some milk then, dear Mother, with
what?
It’s
too late for milk, dear Child, dear Child, dear Child,
It’s
too late for milk, dear Child, dear Child, too late.
I need the bathroom, dear Mother, dear Mother,
I need the bathroom, dear Mother, to pee.
No
you don’t, dear Child, dear Child, dear Child,
No
you don’t, dear Child, dear Child, you don’t.
Please read me one more story, dear mother, dear
mother,
Please read me one more story, dear mother, just
one.
No
– no more, dear child, dear child, dear child,
No
– no more, dear Child, dear child, the end.

Mother,
I’ve lost my new teddy, dear Mother, he’s lost.

I’ll come and help you, dear Mother, dear Mother
I’ll come and help you, dear Mother, help you
Back
to bed, dear Child, dear Child, dear Child,
Back

That is the wrong doll, dear Mother, dear
Mother,
That is the wrong doll, dear Mother, not her.
It
will do, dear Child, dear Child, dear Child,
It
will do, dear Child, dear Child, it’ll do.
I’ve one more thing to ask, dear Mother, dear
Mother
I’ve one more thing to ask, dear Mother, one
more
What

What
