Pop Goes The Weasel

Pop Goes The Weasel

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.

All around the Mulberry Bush,
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey stopped to scratch his nose
Pop! goes the weasel.

Up and down the city road,
In and out the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.

For you may try to sew and sew,
But you'll never make anything regal,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.

The monkey and the weasel fought,
The weasel's really feeble,
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.

Every time when I come home
The monkey's on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off
Pop! goes the weasel.
