Pop Goes the Weasel

All around the Mulberry bush The monkey chased the weasel The monkey thought it was all in fun Pop, goes the weasel A penny for a spool of thread A nickel for a needle That's the way the money goes Pop, goes the weasel Jimmy's got a bit of a cough And Timmy's got the measles That's the way the story goes 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 Every night when I go out The monkey's on the table Take a stick and knock it off 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 My mother taught me how to sew And how to thread the needle Every time I think it slips Pop, goes the weasel You may try to sew and sew And never make it wriggle So roll it up and let it go Pop, goes the weasel I went a hunting in the woods It wasn't very legal The dog and I were caught with the goods Pop goes the weasel I said I did not hunt a spot The warden looked at my beagle He said to tell it to the court Pop, goes the weasel All around the Mulberry bush The monkey chased the weasel The monkey thought it was all in fun Pop, goes the weasel A penny for a spool of thread A nickel for a needle That's the way the money goes Pop, goes the weasel Every night when I go out The monkeys on the table Take a stick and knock it off 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 All around the Mulberry bush The monkey chased the weasel The monkey thought it was all in fun Pop, goes the weasel A penny for a spool of thread A nickel for a needle That's the way the money goes Pop, goes the weasel
