Knaves All Three

 * Rub-a-dub-dub
 * Three men in a tub (or 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

Sailed Out to Sea

 * 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 the sea

Three Maids in a Tub

 * 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
