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 cobbler’s bench
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought ’twas all in fun;
Pop! goes the weasel.
Jimmy’s got the whooping 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.
Mix it up and make it nice,
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.
Every night when I go out,
The monkey’s on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off,
Pop! goes the weasel.
