Marvin White often recited nursery rhymes. He once recited rub-a-dub-dub when he said: "Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub." He said this because he had fashioned a mushroom into a boat.

Origins
Nursery rhymes originated in British Folk music. Such music was often sang to babies in nurseries, and that is how they continued to survive, and they were published in a number of books. They began to become extremely popular in the late 18th century or the early 19th century.
