Now it’s time to rinse.

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick.

Rub a dub dub, three fools in a tub, and who do you think they be?

Verkkojames orchard halliwell found the following version in 1842:

The butcher, the baker,.

This is the hand washing song.

Your thumbs and then we stop!

And who do you think were there?

Red and yellow and blue and green.

We’ve cleaned our fingertips.

Below are the modern lyrics of song as known today.

Wash them all till they're fresh and clean.

Verkkorub a dub dub.

With a hole in the toes and a hole in the heel.
