Thread Name: Lyr Req: Where's the hole in the sea?
Subject: Lyr Add: THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
I just did some DT and forum searching, and it doesn't appear the full lyrics are in either place. Joe Offer put in the 1st, 2nd, and last verse-lines of a version in July of 1999, but my use of search with key phrases of verse-lines he omitted comes up with nothing. Accordingly:

THERE'S A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA

There's a hole in the bottom of the sea (x 2)
There's a hole There's a hole
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

....(OR, for merely sing the verse-line four times, including for the third line)

There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea

There's a bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea

There's a frog on the bump on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea

There's a wart on the frog on the log....

There's a hair on the wart on...

There's a flea on the hair...

There's a eye on the flea...

There's an eyelash on the eye...

There's a germ on the eyelash...

This is WILDLY popular with kid audiences, having them sing along!

Subject: Lyr Add: HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA

Just in case you don't know it, or can't keep up with me when I'm singing it:

HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
(follow along)

There's a hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole,
There's a hole,
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,
There's a hole,
There's a hole,
There's a hole in the bottom of the sea.

(continue until ...)

There's a hole, in the wing,
on the flea, on the fly,
on the tail, on the frog,
on the bump, on the log
in the hole in the bottom of the sea.
