Rub-a-dub-dub,Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they were?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
They all sailed out to sea,
'Twas enough to make a man stare.
Alternative Lyrics:
Hey! rub-a-dub, ho! rub-a-dub, three maids in a tub,
And who do you think were there?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker,
And all of them gone to the fair.
Alternative Lyrics:
Rub a dub dub,
Three fools in a tub,And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker.
Turn them out, knaves all three.
