to carry a tune even in a bucket
You little beauty! What a great turn of phrase - I shall steal this.

Dear Helen of Troy,
You must have been listening to my Dad!
He delivered a song with great bravura but his voice was so off-key Mother used to say he "couldn't carry a tune in a covered bucket."
Dad countered with "If you can't sing good, sing loud!"
He used to try to sing us to sleep with his favorite lullaby "Go to sleep my little Buckeroo"
Thanks for reminding me of some happy childhood memories.
