The song “There’s a Hole in My Bucket” describes a situation where to finish a task, another task must also be done, which leads to another task that must be done.
This situation is known as a “Chain of Deals”.
The ending of the song where the chain of deals is made impossible because of the first situation is also known as a “Deadlock” or a “Catch-22 Dilemma“.
The fact that the song begins and ends with the exact phrased situation is a narration technique called “Book Ends” because everything in between is held together by a same or similar situation.

The first printed version of this song appeared in the 1700s in the German collection of songs Bergliederbüchlein.
The current most well known versions of “There’s a Hole in My Bucket” is probably a tie between the 1966 episode of The Dean Martin Show by Dean Martin and George Gobel, or the Sesame Street version sung by Jim Henson as Henry and Rita Moreno as Liza.
