Hey, Rub-a-dub-dub,
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And how do you think they got there?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
They all jumped out
of a rotten potato,
It was enough
to make your mum stare
Oh yeah

Hey, Rub-a-dub-dub,
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three mates in a tub,
And who do you think
they were there?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
And all of them had gone to the fair
It was enough to make any mum stare
Yeah yeah

Hey, Rub-a-dub-dub,
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,

Oh, rub a dub dub,
Hey hey, rub-a-dub dub,
Three men in a tub,
They all went out to sea;
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker,
"How cool this is!"
Said the three

Then the seahorse
gave the butcher a fright,
And the ocean roll
gave the baker a bite,
And the candlemaker's
head grew real light,
All I have to say is that it
Served them all right,
For who but a fool
Would think it was cool,
To take a tub to sea?
To take a tub to sea?

(Marry me? You must be joking!)

Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea,
Silver buckles on his knee.
He'll come back

Where is my finery?

Ha ha! Who does he think he is?
Gone away for a year,
sailing and singing
and fishing. Marry me?
You must be joking!
Ha ha, who does he think he is!

The big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh
The ally-ally-oh, the ally-ally-oh
Oh, the big ship sails on the ally-ally-oh

The big ship sank
to the bottom of the sea
The bottom of the sea,
the bottom of the sea
The big ship sank

On the last day of September.

We all dip our hands
in the deep blue sea
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea
We all dip our hands

On the last day of September.

A sailor went to sea sea sea,
To see what he could see see see
But all that he could see see see,
was the bottom of the deep blue sea sea sea

A pilot went too fast fast fast,
His stick was stuck down fast fast fast
And when he hurtled past past past,
you knew he’d gone far too fast fast fast

A driver parked just fine fine fine
but received a hefty fine fine fine
And when he argued blind blind blind
He just got another fine fine fine

A cook left at eight eight eight
and all he did was ate ate ate
And after he had eaten eaten eaten,
It had only gone half past eight eight eight

Give me something please please please,
Please listen to my please pleas pleas
I need it quickly please please please,
If you really want to please please please

A sailor went to sea sea sea,
To see what he could see see see
But all that he could see see see,

(Does anybody have a ship?
Ahoi there!
Come on, give us a ship and we’ll go on a cruise.
Ship anyone?)
We need a ship
(A nice big ship.)
We need a ship.
Any colour will do

There must be an ocean around
Ahaha, we need a ship
(But there isn’t any ocean here!)
You say there’s no ocean around?
Have you checked, we need a ship
(Not when I last looked!)
But I’m sure there’s
a lake around the house?
(No, there isn’t!)
Ahaha, we need a ship
You say there’s no lake
around the house?
Oh, that’s bad news,
we need a ship
(No river, before you ask)
But there must be
a river to be found
Ahaha, we need a ship
(Any sort of ship will do)
You say there’s no river to be found?
Oh, that’s bad news,
we need a ship
(We still need a ship
and they don’t go on dry land, you know!?)





Words & Music: Mike Wilbury

So if the situation’s like that
(Yes, it is, we have no ocean!)
We need to sail in the bath
(That’s a good idea!)
With bubbles and soap
Floating past
Our ship will have to not make a Splash
and sail very fast.
Oh, yes!

Just a little stream would be fine,
Ah, because we need a ship
(We don’t have one of those)
Not even that, are you sure?
Have you checked?
We need a ship
(Just some water, with a ship on it!)
But I’m sure that there’s a
pool behind the house
(No!)
Ahaha, we need a ship
(I said that before)
You say there’s no such
thing behind the house?
Oh, that’s bad news, we need a ship
(We need a Captain, too!
The Captain has
left the sinking ship)

So if the situation’s like that
we need to sail in the bath
That’s right, in a ship!
With bubbles and soap
Floating past
Our ship will have to not make a Splash
and sail very fast.
Oh yeah

(Nice piano playing there Rick!)

To see a fine lady
Upon a white horse.
Rings on her fingers
And bells on her toes,

Verse 1
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony
He stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni

Yankee Doodle, doodle dee,
Yankee Doodle dandy
All the lasses are so smart
And sweet as sugar candy
(Clap your hands)
And sweet as sugar candy

Rap:
Clap your hands, stomp your feet,
We're doing this together
We can all dig it like it's buried treasure
'X' marks the spot, stop, look and listen
To the sound of nursery rhymes
Played by real musicians

Verse 2
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.

Yankee Doodle, doodle dee,
Yankee Doodle dandy
All the lasses are so smart
And sweet as sugar candy
(Can I kick it?)
And sweet as sugar candy

Rap:
Can I kick it? Yes I can.
Explain the plans behind the jams
To entertain all and help
The young minds expand
Understand the feeling of real music,
That special sound that makes you
Want to choose it
I got moves kid,
I know you're dancing
The tracks so funky, it just demands it
Whether you stand or sit,
you're head will be nodding
While Duke01 and Jess Conrad are rocking

But ne'er a penny was there in it
Except the binding round it.

Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.

When I looked over Jordan, and what did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home,
A band of angels comin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home.

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.

Sometimes I'm up and sometimes I'm down,
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul feels heavenly bound.
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot,

If I get there before you do,
Coming for to carry me home
I'll cut a hole and pull you through.

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes,
The pipes are calling
From glen to glen,
And down the mountain side.
The summer's gone,
And all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you
Must go and I must bide.

But ye come back
When summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed
And white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine
Or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy,
Oh Danny boy, I love you so!

But when ye come,
When all the flow'rs are dying
And I am gone,
As gone I well may be
You'll come and find
The place where I am lying
And kneel and say
a prayer there for me.

And I shall hear,
though soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm
And sweeter be
If you will only tell me
That you love me,
Then I will sleep in peace
Until you come to me.
