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.

A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle,
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop ! Goes the weasel.

A half a pound of tupenny rice,
A half a pound of treacle.
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop ! Goes the weasel.

Up and down the London road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop ! Goes the weasel.

I’ve no time to plead and pine,
I’ve no time to wheedle,
Kiss me quick and then I’m gone
Pop ! Goes the weasel.
