Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
Half a pound of treacle.
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.
In and out the Eagle,
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.
The monkey's on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off,
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.
A penny for a needle,
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.

The monkey thought 'twas all in fun,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
