Rub A Dub Dub - 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,
That was enough to make a man stare.

Alternative version:

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub.
And who do you think they be?
The butcher,
The baker,
The Candlestick-maker!
And all of the going to sea!
