I haven't done a nursery rhyme in a while, and they are such fun! from the book "Rub A Dub" as told by Kin Eagler, illustrated by Rob Gilbert The oldest versions that have been found (printed) have a different wording. See what you think! nursery books. 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. This version was printed in Massachusetts around 1825. The origins of this earliest version seem to be from a sideshow attraction at local fairs. The sideshow featured three maids in a tub who were presumably unclothed. It's possible that this rhyme made fun of the men who enjoyed visiting them! The Muppets' version! The first recorded version is in a Christmas Box published in London in 1798. By around 1830 the reference to maids was being removed from the versions printed in In 1842 James Orchard Halliwell collected this version: Rub a dub dub, Three men in a tub, And who do you think they be? The butcher, the baker, The candlestick maker. Turn them out, knaves all three. by Graham McKean Here is yet ANOTHER version, that is currently used today: Rub-a-dub-dub, Three men in a tub, And how do you think they got there?
