Rub-a-dub-dub, Three men in a tub. And who do you think they be? The butcher, the baker, The candlestick maker; Turn 'em out, they're knave's all three.

Little Dicky Diller, Married a wife of siller, He took a stick and broke her back And sold her to the miller. The miller said he wouldn't have her, So he threw her into the river.
