Pop Goes The Weasel Lyrics
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!
