(English)
Al-rondomtalie,
Drie mans in 'n balie;
Wie kan hul tog sien?
Die slagter, die bakker,
Die kersmaker-rakker;
Smyt hulle uit,
Hulle is te op en wakker.
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker,
They've all gone off
On a spree.
