Lyrics of Pop Goes the Weasel by ItsyBitsyKids
Up and down the city road
In and out the Eagle
That′s the way the money goes
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
All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey stopped to scratch his nose
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
Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
Mix it up and make it nice
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
Pop! Goes the weasel
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
