THERE’S A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA
“Hole in the Bottom of the Sea” is a cumulative song whose verse’s are built from earlier
verses, usually by adding a new stanza to the previous verse. A simple cumulative song
having many verses is structured as stanza stanza stanza ⋮ stanza1 stanza2 … stanzan
sometimes with a common chorus included with each verse. When sung, the repeated
stanzas are sometimes varied or abbreviated. Cumulative songs are popular for group
singing, in part because they require relatively little memorization of lyrics, and because
remembering the previous verse to concatenate it to form the current verse can become a
kind of game.
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 bump on the 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 frog on the bump on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a tail on the frog on the 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 flea on the tail on the frog
On the bump on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a flea on the tail on the frog
On the bump on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea
There’s a speck on the flea on the tail on
The frog on the bump on the log
In the hole in the bottom of the sea
