Drop In The Bucket

David Lee Roth · Other Songs - David Lee Roth

Just like the army

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.
