Rub-A-Dub-Dub (Cardinal 9 ) Bill Roles
Allemande left like an allemande thar, right and left in time
Men swing in with a back up star, back right down that line
Shoot that star with a full turn, pull the partner by
Allemande left with the corner girl, weave around that set
Rub-a-dub-dub three men in a tub, lost on the ocean blue
Swing your partner round and round, promenade her too
Promenade with the pretty little maid, across the ocean blue
Steal a kiss from the pretty little miss, take her home with you

FIGURE

Head two couples square thru, four hands round you go
Around that corner lady now, do a little dosado
Swing thru tonight, boys run to the right
Do a half tag, walk and dodge, partner trade and go
Pass the ocean now, recycle around you go
Swing that corner lady round and promenade that floor
Rub-a-dub-dub three men in a tub, lost on the ocean blue
I'll roll like a hub singin' rub-a-dub-dub
She broke my heart in two

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides face, grand square
*Once upon a time in a nursery rhyme, 3 little men got lost
Like you and me they could not agree on which way they were tossed
So I sang a tune when I got marooned with a love I can't forget
The 3 little men they took me in on an ocean of regret
Four little ladies promenade once inside that ring
Go on back and swing your man, promenade that ring
Promenade with the pretty little maid, across the ocean blue
Steal a kiss from the pretty little miss, take her home with you

TAG

Bow to the partner, corners too, that's it you're through
*Well my heart is too blind, I can't see shore and I'm drifting far away
From the love I had, and I'm feeling mighty bad and I can't go on this way
Won't you throw me a line and say you're mine and take me back again
Cause my rudder's broke and it ain't no joke, won't you reach and pull me in
