Pop Goes the Weasel Lyrics
(Version 1)
All around the cobbler's bench, The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought't was 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.
(Version 2)
All around the cobbler's bench The monkey chased the weasel The monkey thought 'twas all in fun Pop -- goes the weasel! Johnny's got the whooping cough and Mary's got the measles That's the way the money goes 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! You may try to sew and sew And never make anything regal So roll it up and let it go Pop -- goes the weasel!
A painter would his lover to paint He stood before the easel The monkey jumped all over the paint Pop -- goes the weasel! When his sweetheart she did laugh His temper got so lethal He tore the painting up in half Pop -- goes the weasel!
My son and I went to the fair We saw a lot of people We spent a lot of money there Pop -- goes the weasel! I got sick from all the sun My sonny boy got the measles Still we had a lot of fun Pop -- goes the weasel!
I climbed up and down the coast To find a golden eagle I climbed the rocks and thought I was close Pop -- goes the weasel! But, alas, I lost my way Saw nothing but a seagull I tore my pants and killed the day Pop -- goes the weasel!
I went to the grocery store I thought a little cheese'll Be good to catch a mouse on the floor Pop -- goes the weasel! But the mouse was very bright He wasn't a mouse to wheedle He took the cheese and said "Good night" 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! Half a pound of tuppenny rice Half a pound of treacle Mix it up and make it nice 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! Put some pepper on its nose And you'll make it sneeze-l Catch it fast before it snaps -- Pop -- goes the weasel!
A penny for a cotton ball A penny for a needle That's the way the money goes Pop -- goes the weasel! If you want to buy a pig Buy a pig with hairs on Every hair a penny a pair 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! I've no time to wait and sigh I've no time to tease-l Kiss me quick -- I'm off -- goodbye! Pop -- goes the weasel!
