(On every recording of this song I’ve ever heard, Henry is sung in a Southern drawl, but Liza in a Midwestern twang. There’s got to be a message hidden there)

Ok guys, finish off this song so we can come in with the made-up lyrics. Maybe String Bean and Minnie never worked blue, but that ain’t going to stop us!

14

But the stone is too dry, dear Liza, dear Liza,
But the stone is too dry, dear Liza, too dry.

15

Then wet it, dear Henry, dear Henry
Then wet it, dear Henry, wet it

With water dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry
With water dear Henry, dear Henry. Use water.
