Pop Goes The Weasel
Round and 'round the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop! goes the weasel.
(Chorus)
A penny for a spool of thread,
A tuppence for a needle
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
(Chorus)
Jimmy's got the whooping cough
And Timmy's got the measles.
That's the way the story goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
(Chorus)
Every night when I get home
The monkey's on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off,
Pop! goes the weasel.
(Chorus)
Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
(Chorus)
Up and down the city road
In and out the Eagle.
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
(Chorus)
You may try to sew and sew,
And never make something regal,
So roll it up and let it go,
Pop! goes the weasel.
(Chorus)
The monkey is swinging In the tree
Like a peazel
And the weasels in the hole
Pop! goes the weasel
(Chorus)
