Rub-A-Dub-Dub Songtext / Lyric

Now once upon a time in a nursery rhyme

Three little men got lost

Like you and me they couldn't agree

And upon the wave they tossed



Well, I'll sing their tune 'cause I got marooned

With the love I can't forget

Now the three little men just took me in

On an ocean of regret



With a rub-a-dub-dub, three men in the tub

Lost on the ocean blue

I roll like a hub, sing, rub-a-dub-dub

'Cause you broke my heart in two



Well, my heart is sore and I can't reach shore

And I'm driftin' far away

From the love I had and I'm feelin' mighty bad

And I can't go on this way






Won't you throw out the line and say you're mine

And take me back again

'Cause my rudder's broke and it ain't no joke

Won't you reach and pull me in



With a rub-a-dub-dub, three men in the tub

Lost on the ocean blue

I roll like a hub, sing, rub-a-dub-dub

'Cause you broke my heart in two



Well, I knew right away there'd never come a day

When I'd reach land again

The one I 'dore on the distant shore

Is now at rainbow's end



To the three little guys, I turn my eyes

Won't you tell your names to me

Now one said Fate, one said Hate

And the other said Jealousy



With a rub-a-dub-dub, three men in the tub

Lost on the ocean blue

I roll like a hub, sing, rub-a-dub-dub

'Cause you broke my heart in two
