Drop In The Bucket
David Lee Roth · Other Songs - David Lee Roth
I was bein' all I could be
I was feelin' next to awesome
In my cleanest dirty jeans
She said
"Honey read the small print
If ya wanna be with me
When it comes to you and fashion
You're a totally emergency!
Right up the middle
Touchdown and that's the game
Extra point and you're never the same
Tight as a fiddle string
Shot right through the brain
Graspin' straws an' that ain't all
You'll slip right down her drain
Drop at a time is all ya need
Try it once but easy does it!
Satisfaction guaranteed
Try it twice, ya gotta love it!
Drop at a time is all ya need
She said, "Look, just don't touch it!"
Well, here goes one more drop in the bucket!
She wore a whole lot of not enough
And served it up with class
Had a sunny disposition
And a somewhat shady past
Her t-shirt ended early
And her hot pants started late
When it came to vice and versa
No I did not hesitate
Aww right to the action
For a bird's eye view of the play
There ain't a promise that you won't make
Hike, and keep passin'
And ya play it with a little pain
You came here for some love and war
So suit up for the game!
Drop at a time is all ya need
Try it once but easy does it!
Satisfaction guaranteed
Try it twice, ya gotta love it!
Drop at a time is all ya need
She said, "Look, just don't touch it!"
Well, here come one more drop in the bucket!
Here come one more drop in the the bucket
Gotta get it one more
Drop In The Bucket
Drop In The Bucket stands as a defining track from David Lee Roth's solo debut, Eat 'Em And Smile. Released in 1985, the song captures the high-energy, hard-rocking spirit that characterized Roth's transition from fronting Van Halen to leading his own band. The recording showcases his signature theatrical vocal style and charismatic delivery, blending rock instrumentation with a playful, confident attitude. As a key song in his early solo discography, the track highlights Roth's ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly anthems that emphasize showmanship and rhythmic drive. It remains a staple of his live performances, reflecting the bold musical direction he pursued after leaving his former band. The song's enduring appeal lies in its energetic composition and Roth's distinctive command of the stage, cementing its place in the rock canon of the mid-1980s.
