All around the mulberry bush, 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.
Up and down the city road, in and out the eagle.
That's the way the money goes, 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.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle—
That's the way the money goes,
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.
I've no time to wait and sigh,
No patience to wait 'til by and by.
Kiss me quick, I'm off, goodbye!
Pop! goes the weasel.
