Rub A Dub Dub

Rub A Dub Dub is a classic nursery rhyme for preschoolers, perfect for circle time, language learning, and introducing traditional rhymes.

Lyrics

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.
