Pop Goes The Weasel - Lyrics

Lyrics

There are many different versions of the lyrics to the song. In England, most share the basic verse:

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,

Half a pound of treacle.

That’s the way the money goes,

Pop! goes the weasel.

Often a second verse is added:

Every night when I get home

The monkey's on the table,

Take a stick and knock it off,

Pop! goes the weasel.
