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 [bad word] a-dub-dub, three men in the tub
Lost on the ocean blue
I roll like a hub, [bad word] 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 [bad word] s broke and it ain't no joke
Won't you reach and pull me in

With [bad word] a-dub-dub, three men in the tub
Lost on the ocean blue
I roll like a hub, [bad word] a-dub-dub
'Cause you broke my heart in two

Well, I knew right away there'd [bad word] 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 [bad word] a-dub-dub, three men in the tub
Lost on the ocean blue
I roll like a hub, [bad word] a-dub-dub
'Cause you broke my heart in two.
