Rub-A-Dub-Dub

Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme

Three little men got lost

Like you and me, they couldn't agree

And upon the waves they tossed

I'll sing their tune 'cause I got marooned

With a 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 I can't reach shore and my heart is sore

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 your 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 adore on the distant shore

Is now at the rainbow's end

To the three little guys, I turn my eyes

Won't you tell your names to me?

Well 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
