Pop! Goes the weasel

Pop Goes the Weasel – nonsense song

All around the cobbler’s bench

The monkey chased the weasel

The monkey thought ‘twas all in fun

Pop! Goes the weasel

(chorus)

A penny for a spool of thread

A penny for a needle

That’s the way the money goes

Pop! Goes the weasel

Rufus has the whooping cough

And Sally has the measles

And theat’s the way the doctor goes

Pop! Goes the weasel

*If you haven't yet run across the explanation for this song... A "weasel" was a cobbler's tool, and the monkey refers to the same variety of monkey George Michael once famously sang about being on his back...)
