How does the nursery rhyme Three Men in a Tub go?

Rub a Dub Three Men in a Tub

Hey rub-a-dub, ho rub-a-dub,

Hey, rub a dub dub,

Three men in a tub,

And who do you think was there?

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker,

And all of them gone to the fair.

And who will they meet when they get there?

Hey rub-a-dub, ho rub-a-dub,

Hey rub a dub dub

Three men in a tub

And who will they meet at the fair?

The doctor, the lawyer, and the Indian chief.

That’s who they’ll meet at the fair.

Hey rub-a-dub, ho rub-a-dub,

Hey rub a dub dub

To Nursery Rhymes Fun Home from Three Men in a Tub

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.

Three Men in a Tub Lyrics:

Rub-a-dub-dub, three men 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.

Rub-a-dub-dub, three men 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.
