Lyrics

All around 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.

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
Mix it up and make it nice,
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 come home,
The monkey's on the table;
Take a stick and knock it off,
Pop goes the weasel.
