Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle,
That's the way the money goes,
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!
Every night when I go out,
The monkey's on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off
Pop goes the weasel!
A penny for a ball of thread
Another for a needle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel!
All around the cobbler's bench,
The monkey chased the people;
The donkey thought 'twas all in fun,
Pop goes the weasel!
